USB HID: fix a possible NULL pointer dereference when we fail to allocate memory
If, in usb_hid_configure(), we fail to allocate storage for 'usbhid', "if (!(usbhid = kzalloc(sizeof(struct usbhid_device), GFP_KERNEL)))", then we'll jump to the 'fail:' label where we have this code: usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbin); usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbout); usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbctrl); Since we got here because we couldn't allocate storage for 'usbhid', what we have here is a NULL pointer dereference - ouch... This patch solves that little problem by adding a new 'fail_no_usbhid:' label after the problematic calls to usb_free_urb() and jumps to that one instead, in the problem case.
