3.16.7-ckt22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jiri Slaby <jsl...@suse.cz> commit 19cd80a214821f4b558560ebd76bfb2c38b4f3d8 upstream. It is not permitted to set task state before lock. usblp_wwait sets the state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calls mutex_lock_interruptible. Upon return from that function, the state will be TASK_RUNNING again. This is clearly a bug and a warning is generated with LOCKDEP too: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5109 at kernel/sched/core.c:7404 __might_sleep+0x7d/0x90() do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1 set at [<ffffffffa0c588d0>] usblp_wwait+0xa0/0x310 [usblp] Modules linked in: ...

Commit 7f477358e2384c54b190cc3b6ce28277050a041b (usblp: Implement the ENOSPC convention) moved the set prior locking. So move it back after the lock.
