Subject: [PATCH] drivers: net: remove a dangling pointer in peak_usb_create_dev

From: Dongliang Mu <mudongliangabcd@...il.com>

The error handling code of peak_usb_create_dev forgets to reset the
next_siblings of previous entry.

Fix this by nullifying the (dev->prev_siblings)->next_siblings in the
error handling code.
