I've slightly modified the commit message with more details about the warning:

uvcvideo: Fix race of open and suspend in error case

Ming Lei reported:

IMO, there is a minor fault in the error handling path of
uvc_status_start() inside uvc_v4l2_open(), and the 'users' count should
have been decreased before usb_autopm_put_interface(). In theory, a [URB
resubmission] warning can be triggered when the device is opened just
between usb_autopm_put_interface() and atomic_dec(&stream->dev->users).

The fix is trivial.

The patch is in my tree, I'll push it to v3.9.
