Subject: USB: serial: fix stalled writes
Date: Wed,  4 Aug 2010 15:45:57 +0200
Message-Id: <1280929557-5670-1-git-send-email-jhovold@gmail.com>

As David VomLehn points out, it was possible to receive an interrupt
before clearing the free-urb flag which could lead to the urb being
incorrectly marked as busy.

For the same reason, move tx_bytes accounting so that it will never be
negative.

Note that the free-flags set and clear operations do not need any
additional locking as they are manipulated while USB_SERIAL_WRITE_BUSY
is set.
