I've tested your patch and it doesn't show the lockup anymore, so far
so good. But it seems as if I have a problem in my test setup, because
I can't reproduce the bug on vanilla 4.3-rc5 either. I will ask the
original reporter if it is possible to test your patch on their side.

Appart from that it looks good to me (and much simpler than my changes)
.
