Subject: [PATCH 4.19 36/93] USB: legousbtower: fix memleak on disconnect

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

commit b6c03e5f7b463efcafd1ce141bd5a8fc4e583ae2 upstream.

If disconnect() races with release() after a process has been
interrupted, release() could end up returning early and the driver would
fail to free its driver data.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
