I had tested the driver running out of buffers quite extensively, but I 
think I must have just been lucky with the timings. Now that I've had a 
look at the code in more detail, I believe it would be possible for a 
throttle/unthrottle not to occur, in which case no more new URB reads 
would be submitted.

I've attached a v3 version of the patch which ensures that either the 
tty is throttled or the tasklet is rescheduled. I assume that it would 
be preferable to wait until Johan Hovold's '[PATCH 16/16] USB: cdc-acm: 
re-write read processing' has been submitted and then for me to submit 
another similar patch to this one, but which doesn't need the rx tasklet.

I decided it was still worth attaching the patch as it'll allow people 
to fix this issue on older kernel versions
