Subject: [PATCH] USB: usb-skeleton.c: fix compilation error and restore kref_put on fail in skel_open

From: Constantine Shulyupin <const@...eLinux.com>

Function skel_open increments usage count for the device with kref_get and the usage count should be decremented on the function failure.

Some last changes in function skel_open and finally commit
52a7499 Revert "USB: usb-skeleton.c: fix open/disconnect race"
introduced a bug in function skel_open, which this patch fixes.
