Bug Description

[ Description ]

Can crash when the plug is pulled on an MTP device when an operation is in progress.

[ Fix ]

Backport patch from upstream git.

[ Development fix ]

This change is in Vivid.

[ QA ]

I don't yet have reproducer steps. This is an upstream fix which is in Vivid, so I hope it can be accepted anyway.

It's https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/e0bc04a0c1e91a77d2a47d8a9c0145e132cc47b3, so perhaps we can check for occurrences with the new version.

Hi Gabriel,

Do you have a series of steps to make this error happen?

I think I found a fix for it, and I've uploaded this to Utopic (pending review), but a way to make it happen to check it's really fixed would be appreciated.
