Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: fix memory leak in generic driver

URB transfer buffer was never freed when using multi-urb writes.

Regression introduced by commit 715b1dc01fe44537e8fce9566e4bb48d6821d84b
(USB: usb_debug, usb_generic_serial: implement multi urb write).

Currently the only driver enabling multi-urb writes is usb_debug.
