[PATCH net v1 1/2] net: usb: lan78xx: Fix double free issue with interrupt buffer allocation

[Oleksij Rempel]

In lan78xx_probe(), the buffer `buf` was being freed twice: once
implicitly through `usb_free_urb(dev->urb_intr)` with the
`URB_FREE_BUFFER` flag and again explicitly by `kfree(buf)`. This caused
a double free issue.

To resolve this, reordered `kmalloc()` and `usb_alloc_urb()` calls to
simplify the initialization sequence and removed the redundant
`kfree(buf)`.  Now, `buf` is allocated after `usb_alloc_urb()`, ensuring
it is correctly managed by  `usb_fill_int_urb()` and freed by
`usb_free_urb()` as intended.
