No,

sorry, but this is not good. The reason is a bit subtle.
Drivers need to reset the filters when handling post_reset()
[ and reset_resume() ] usbnet_write_cmd() falls back to
kmemdup() with GFP_KERNEL. Usbnet is a framework with class
drivers and some of the devices we drive have a storage
interface. Thence we are on the block error handling path here.

The simplest solution is to leave out this patch in the sequence.
