USB: fix race leading to a write after kfree in usbfs

this fixes a race between async_completed() and proc_reapurbnonblock().

CPU A                   CPU B

spin_lock(&ps->lock);
list_move_tail(&as->asynclist, &ps->async_completed);
spin_unlock(&ps->lock);

                                if (!(as = async_getcompleted(ps)))
                                        return -EAGAIN;
                                return processcompl(as, (void __user * __user *)arg);

processcompl() calls free_async() which calls kfree(as)

as->status = urb->status;
if (as->signr) {
        sinfo.si_signo = as->signr;
        sinfo.si_errno = as->status;
        sinfo.si_code = SI_ASYNCIO;
        sinfo.si_addr = as->userurb;
        kill_pid_info_as_uid(as->signr, &sinfo, as->pid, as->uid,
                              as->euid, as->secid);
}
snoop(&urb->dev->dev, "urb complete\n");
snoop_urb(urb, as->userurb);

write after kfree
