Subject: memory leak in usbtest_probe

We report a bug (in linux-5.6.11) found by FuzzUSB (a modified version
of syzkaller)

The buf of an usbtest_dev instance (dev->buf) allocated in
usbtest_probe() leaked.

The usbtest_dev instance holding the buf is attached to a
corresponding device instance
through usb_set_intfdata().
But later, the usbtest_dev instance seems to be freed without
deallocating its buf field ahead.
