Subject: [PATCH 4.4 048/113] USB: serial: fix memleak in driver-registration error path

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

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

From: Alexey Klimov <klimov.linux@...il.com>

commit 647024a7df36014bbc4479d92d88e6b77c0afcf6 upstream.

udriver struct allocated by kzalloc() will not be freed
if usb_register() and next calls fail. This patch fixes this
by adding one more step with kfree(udriver) in error path.
