Then you should split this into two patches.

Why not simply return 0 in write and use the tty buffering rather than
implement another buffer in cdc_acm?

This is not the right way to do this. See below.

No need to reset transmitting which is balanced by usb_kill_urb below.

Same here: use is generally cleared by the completion handler -- you
only need to handle any delayed urb.

You shouldn't abuse the flow_stopped flag. Simply clear the delayed urb
in shutdown (rather than try to use flush_buffer).

Again, don't use flush_buffer for this (it's used to discard output
buffers).
