usbnet: fix deadlock in resume
A usbnet device can share a multifunction device with a storage device. If the storage device is autoresumed the usbnet devices also needs to be autoresumed. Allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL can deadlock in this case. This should go back into all kernels that have commit 65841fd5132c3941cdf5df09e70df3ed28323212 That is 3.5 Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.
