Subject: [038/200] USB: kobil: fix memory leak

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit c0f631d1948658b27349545b2cbcb4b32f010c7a upstream.

An urb transfer buffer is allocated at every open but was never freed.

This driver is a bit of a mess...
