Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 03/11] wimax/i2400m: Fix potential urb refcnt leak

From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@...an.edu.cn>

[ Upstream commit 7717cbec172c3554d470023b4020d5781961187e ]

i2400mu_bus_bm_wait_for_ack() invokes usb_get_urb(), which increases the
refcount of the "notif_urb".

When i2400mu_bus_bm_wait_for_ack() returns, local variable "notif_urb"
becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount
balanced.

The issue happens in all paths of i2400mu_bus_bm_wait_for_ack(), which
forget to decrease the refcnt increased by usb_get_urb(), causing a
refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling usb_put_urb() before the
i2400mu_bus_bm_wait_for_ack() returns.
