Axel Lin 439cf16bb5 USB: cdc-acm: fix resource reclaim in error path of acm_probe
commit c2572b78aa upstream.

This patch fixes resource reclaim in error path of acm_probe:

1. In the case of "out of memory (read urbs usb_alloc_urb)\n")", there
   is no need to call acm_read_buffers_free(acm) here.  Fix it by goto
   alloc_fail6 instead of alloc_fail7.
2. In the case of "out of memory (write urbs usb_alloc_urb)",
   usb_alloc_urb may fail in any iteration of the for loop.  Current
   implementation does not properly free allocated snd->urb.  Fix it by
   goto alloc_fail8 instead of alloc_fail7.
3. In the case of device_create_file(&intf->dev,&dev_attr_iCountryCodeRelDate)
   fail, acm->country_codes is kfreed. As a result, device_remove_file
   for dev_attr_wCountryCodes will not be executed in acm_disconnect.
   Fix it by calling device_remove_file for dev_attr_wCountryCodes
   before goto skip_countries.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
