[PATCH v2] staging: usbip: stub_dev: Fixed oops during removal of usbip_host

From: navin patidar
Date: Wed Sep 19 2012 - 07:37:56 EST


From: navin <navinp@xxxxxxx>

stub_shutdown_connection() should set kernel thread pointers to NULL after killing them.
so that at the time of usbip_host removal stub_shutdown_connection() doesn't try to kill kernel threads
which are already killed.

[ 1504.312158] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
