[PATCH v4] staging: r8188eu: fix potential memory leak in rtw_os_xmit_resource_alloc()

From: xkernel . wang
Date: Fri Sep 09 2022 - 07:45:07 EST


From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In rtw_os_xmit_resource_alloc(), if usb_alloc_urb() fails, then the
memory `pxmitbuf_pallocated_buf` which is allocated by kzalloc() is not
properly released before returning.

So this patch add kfree() on the above error path to release it. As there
is no proper device to test with, no runtime testing was performed.
