Subject: [10/29] usb: serial: fix memory leak in generic driver

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit 2591530204a76fecc843529ade56afe865dd2657 upstream.

Fix a regression introduced by commit
715b1dc01fe44537e8fce9566e4bb48d6821d84b ("USB: usb_debug,
usb_generic_serial: implement multi urb write").

URB transfer buffer was never freed when using multi-urb writes.
Currently the only driver enabling multi-urb writes is usb_debug.
