Subject: [PATCH 4.4 036/101] USB: serial: garmin_gps: fix memory leak on failed URB submit

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit c4ac4496e835b78a45dfbf74f6173932217e4116 upstream.

Make sure to free the URB transfer buffer in case submission fails (e.g.
due to a disconnect).
