Note that I have not verified any of the below on
hardware associated with drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c,
only with drivers/usb/serial/visor.c.  If anyone has
hardware for this device, I would appreciate your comments.

A memory leak occurs in both drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.c
and drivers/usb/serial/visor.c when the usb device is
unplugged while data is being written to the device.  This
patch should clear that up.

This was prepared against 2.6.7-rc2.
