Pull USB fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are a number of fixes for the USB core and drivers for 3.4-rc2
Lots of tiny xhci fixes here, a few usb-serial driver fixes and new
device ids, and a smattering of other minor fixes in different USB
drivers.

Thus you can be sure that when usb_kill_urb() returns, the URB is totally idle. +There is a lifetime issue to consider. An URB may complete at any +time, and the completion handler may free the URB. If this happens +while usb_unlink_urb or usb_kill_urb is running, it will cause a +memory-access violation.
