Subject: [PATCH] media, tlg2300: Fix memory leak in
 alloc_bulk_urbs_generic()

Hi,

While reading 
drivers/media/video/tlg2300/pd-video.c::alloc_bulk_urbs_generic() I 
noticed that

 - We don't free the memory allocated to 'urb' if the call to 
   usb_alloc_coherent() fails.
 - If the 'num' argument to the function is ever <= 0 we'll return an 
   uninitialized variable 'i' to the caller.

The following patch addresses both of the above by a) calling 
usb_free_urb() when usb_alloc_coherent() fails and by explicitly 
initializing 'i' to zero.
I also moved the variables 'mem' and 'urb' inside the for loop. This does 
not actually make any difference, it just seemed more correct to me to let 
variables exist only in the innermost scope they are used.
