patch "USB: fix linked-list corruption in rh_call_control()" added to usb-linus

[<gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    USB: fix linked-list corruption in rh_call_control()

to my usb git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/usb.git
in the usb-linus branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: USB: fix linked-list corruption in rh_call_control()

Using KASAN, Dmitry found a bug in the rh_call_control() routine: If
buffer allocation fails, the routine returns immediately without
unlinking its URB from the control endpoint, eventually leading to
linked-list corruption.

This patch fixes the problem by jumping to the end of the routine
(where the URB is unlinked) when an allocation failure occurs.
