We need to wait for send_completion msg before put_rndis_request() at
the end of rndis_filter_halt_device(). Otherwise,
netvsc_send_completion() may reference freed memory which is

overwritten, and cause panic.

This is a bug fix, so applied to 'net'.  Please target your patches properly.

Don't just be afraid that I'll reject the patch if you target it at 'net', and
therefore just target everything at 'net-next'.  That is certainly worse.

I see. 

Thanks,
