3.16.80-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 726b55d0e22ca72c69c947af87785c830289ddbc upstream.
The driver was accessing its struct usb_device in its release() callback without holding a reference. This would lead to a use-after-free whenever the device was disconnected while the character device was still open.
