Backport kernel commit 85237f202d46d55c1bffe0c5b1aa3ddc0f1dce4d
kernel-sync:
The original patch from Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> fix DoS in pwc
USB video driver:
the pwc driver has a disconnect method that waits for user space to
close the device. This opens up an opportunity for a DoS attack,
blocking the USB subsystem and making khubd's task busy wait in
kernel space. This patch shifts freeing resources to close if an opened
device is disconnected.
