Subject: [PATCH 2.6.19] drivers/media/video/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c: Free
 previously allocated memory (in array elements) if kmalloc() returns NULL.

Description: Free previously allocated memory (in array elements) if kmalloc() returns NULL, in function submit_urbs(), in file drivers/media/video/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c. If the system is low on memory, then previously allocated memory in the same array should be freed up to help the system recover.
