[patch 18/26] USB: usbserial - fix potential deadlock between write() and IRQ

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.22-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

patch acd2a847e7fee7df11817f67dba75a2802793e5d in mainline.

USB: usbserial - fix potential deadlock between write() and IRQ

usb_serial_generic_write() doesn't disable interrupts when taking port->lock,
and could therefore deadlock with usb_serial_generic_read_bulk_callback()
being called from interrupt, taking the same lock. Fix it.
