Subject: [PATCH 3.2 84/87] [media] usbvision-video: fix memory leak of
 alt_max_pkt_size

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@...ras.ru>

commit 090c65b694c362adb19ec9c27de216a808ee443c upstream.

1. usbvision->alt_max_pkt_size is not deallocated anywhere.
2. if allocation of usbvision->alt_max_pkt_size fails,
there is no proper deallocation of already acquired resources.
The patch adds kfree(usbvision->alt_max_pkt_size) to
usbvision_release() as soon as other deallocations happen there.
It calls usbvision_release() if allocation of
usbvision->alt_max_pkt_size fails as soon as usbvision_release()
is safe to work with incompletely initialized usbvision structure.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
