Subject: [ 051/101] USB: qcserial: fix interface-data memory leak in error path

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

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

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

commit 961be09e1ead58509ed4bed0d5819a15d8613d8d upstream.

Move interface data allocation to attach so that it is deallocated
should usb-serial probe fail.
