2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Antti Kaijanmäki <antti.kaijanmaki@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dcfcb256cc23c4436691b0fe677275306699d6a1 upstream.

Fix soft-lockup in hso.c which is triggered on SMP machine when
modem is removed while file descriptor(s) under /dev are still open:

old version called kref_put() too early which resulted in destroying
hso_serial and hso_device objects which were still used later on.
