[PATCH 3/7] USB: memory leak in iowarrior.c

Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.linux.usb.devel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Oliver Neukum <[email protected]>

this is a classical memory leak in the ioctl handler. The buffer is simply
never freed. This fixes it the obvious way.
