[PATCH] USB: ub oops in block_uevent 

In kernel 2.6.16, if a mounted storage device is removed, an oops happens
because ub supplies an interface device (and kobject) to the block layer,
but neglects to pin it. And apparently, the block layer expects its users
to pin device structures.

The code in ub was broken this way for years. But the bug was exposed only
by 2.6.16 when it started to call block_uevent on close, which traverses
device structures (kobjects actually).
