Subject: [PATCH 4.14 116/164] rsi: fix memory leak on buf and usb_reg_buf

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>


[ Upstream commit d35ef8f846c72d84bfccf239c248c84f79c3a7e8 ]

In the cases where len is too long, the error return path fails to
kfree allocated buffers buf and usb_reg_buf.  The simplest fix is to
perform the sanity check on len before the allocations to avoid having
to do the kfree'ing in the first place.
