[PATCH] drivers/usb/gadget/inode.c: add missing kfree

[Julia Lawall]

From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>

The label fail frees dev->buf, but kbuf hasn't yet been stored there at
this point.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@exists@
local idexpression x;
statement S;
expression E;
expression *ptr != NULL;
@@

x = memdup_user(...);
...
if (IS_ERR(x)) S
... when != x
    when != x = E
(
 return \(0\|<+...x...+>\|ptr\);
|
*return ...;
)
// </smpl>

I wonder if it is really correct to free dev->buf at fail in this case.
Because it is freeing the previously allocated value of dev->buf, not the
current one as done in subsequent cases.
