[PATCH] fix different usb-serial oopses for 2.6.7

[Greg KH]

Hi,

Ok, thanks to both of you posting bug reports that seemed quite
different, I think I've finally fixed both of your issues.  The patch
below is what I've just added to my trees and will send to Linus in a
bit, and should solve both problems.

Basically the issue was 2 things:
	- Zwane correctly found that we shouldn't have been calling the
	  usb_driver_release_interface() call on disconnect, but if you
	  didn't make this call, we leaked memory.  This was because of
	  the next piece...
	- Harald noticed that if you unloaded a usb-serial driver with
	  the device still plugged in, and then removed it, the kernel
	  oopsed.  He also noticed double calls to the disconnect
	  function.  This was because we were incorrectly binding the
	  device to the usb serial generic driver instead of the one
	  that was controlling it.

So, by fixing the usb-serial generic issue, that fixed the fact that we
shouldn't have been calling the release_interface() call, as it isn't
necessary (the usb core will take care of it.)

Thanks to everyone for helping out here, and if with this patch, you
still have problems, please let me know...

USB: fix bug where removing usb-serial modules or usb serial devices could oops
 
This fixes the issue where the Generic driver would bind to all usb-serial
devices, so the disconnect would not properly go to the real driver that
controlled the device.  This was very bad when unloading the module with
the device still connected.
