Subject: [PATCH] usb: xhci: Fix memory leak in xchi_disable_slot()

xhci_alloc_command() allocates a command structure and, when the
second argument is true, also allocates a completion structure.
Currently, the error handling path in xhci_disable_slot() only frees
the command structure using kfree(), causing the completion structure
to leak.

Fix this by using xhci_free_command() instead of kfree(). This function
correctly frees both the command and the completion structure.

Fixes: cd3f1790b006d ("usb: xhci: Fix potential memory leak in xhci_disable_slot()")
