Subject: USB: gadgetfs: Fix a potential memory leak in 'dev_config()'

From: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr>


[ Upstream commit b6e7aeeaf235901c42ec35de4633c7c69501d303 ]

'kbuf' is allocated just a few lines above using 'memdup_user()'.
If the 'if (dev->buf)' test fails, this memory is never released.
