USB: make hub driver's release more robust This revised patch (as893c) improves the method used by the hub driver to release its private data structure. The current code is non-robust, relying on a memory region not getting reused by another driver after it has been freed. The patch adds a reference count to the structure, resolving the question of when to release it.
