[PATCH] USB Network driver infrastructure: Fix leak whenusb_autopm_get_interface() returns less than zero in kevent().

From: Jesper Juhl
Date: Thu Feb 10 2011 - 15:59:59 EST


We'll leak the memory allocated to 'urb' in
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:kevent() when we 'goto fail_lowmem' and the 'urb'
variable goes out of scope while still completely unused.
