There's a race between the USB disconnect handler and the TTY close
handler which may cause the acm object to be freed while it's still
being used. This may lead to things like
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/54250
and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/5/29/64
This is the simplest fix I could come up with. Holding on to open_mutex
while closing the TTY device prevents acm_disconnect() from freeing the
acm object between acm->port.count drops to 0 and the TTY side of the
cleanups are finalized.
