usblp: Fix a double kfree
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If submit fails, slab hits a BUG() because of a double kfree.
The today's lesson is, you cannot just slap USB_FREE_BUFFER on code
without adjusting the error paths.

The patch is made bigger by opportunistic refactoring.
