Subject: [PATCH 1/1] net: usb: set error code when usb_alloc_urb fails

In function lan78xx_probe(), variable ret takes the errno code on
failures. However, when the call to usb_alloc_urb() fails, its value
will keeps 0. 0 indicates success in the context, which is inconsistent
with the execution result. This patch fixes the bug, assigning
"-ENOMEM" to ret when usb_alloc_urb() returns a NULL pointer.
