Locking problem in usbserial with 2.6.23-git 5a34417f

[Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>]

While attempting to configure a new USB modem, the following locking problem occurred. In addition,
shortly after this problem occurred, the computer froze. The log data starts at the point that
usbserial was loaded and contains everything that was written to disk before the machine locked up.
Some info may be missing from the end of the stack dump.

The system is an HP laptop running an x86_64 system. NetworkManager was used to initiate the modem
connection.
