[<00000000cbb8c98f>] usb_generic_driver_probe+0x8c/0xc0

For this issue,I see that the following call sequence causing
some memory leaks:
usb_probe_interface
r871xu_drv_init
r8712_init_drv_sw
_r8712_init_recv_priv
r8712_init_recv_priv//void type function
for (i = 0; i < NR_RECVBUFF;
if (r8712_os_recvbuf_resource_alloc(padapter, precvbuf))
r8712_os_recvbuf_resource_alloc
precvbuf->purb = usb_alloc_urb
kmalloc

break;// if error branch. Here may be some memory leak,
// break directly after r8712_os_recvbuf_resource_alloc
// fail, and no cleanup operation is done.

And also the size of the memory leak can be seen in the log is
192 bytes, I check the size of the usb_alloc_urb application is
usb_alloc_urb(0,
-> kmalloc(struct_size(urb, iso_frame_desc, iso_packets))
-> sizeof(struct urb)+iso_packets*sizeof(struct iso_frame_desc)
iso_packets is 0, so the size of the actual application is
sizeof(struct urb) -> the calculation result is 192, which matches
the size of the leak point.

After that cleanup, the precvbuf->purb maybe used for long time
So I add kmemleak_not_leak to avoid false positive report.
