Subject: [PATCH 2/3] hso: memory leak in hso_free_net_device()


This patch fixes a memory leak in the hso_free_net_device() function.
The structure hso_net will be freed by free_netdev(). So, the rx/tx urbs
and buffers must be freed before free_netdev() is called.

kmemleak still finds 1 remaining leak, but I can't find it.
Maybe someone else has an idea for this:
