[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_uac1/f_uac2: fix invalid-free and memory leak in sampling rate store

strsep() modifies the pointer passed to it, advancing it past each
delimiter. In f_uac1.c, in the UAC1_RATE_ATTRIBUTE macro,
it advances the 'split_page' pointer past the ","
between the sampling rates. This causes two bugs:

On the error path: if kstrtou32() fails while parsing (possibly due
to a garbage value passed to it), the goto jumps to 'end' where kfree()
is called on 'split_page', which now points into the middle of the
'split_page' pointer instead of its start, causing an invalid-free.

On the success path: when strsep() exhausts the string it sets
'split_page' to NULL, so the kfree() at 'end' becomes a no-op,
silently leaking the kstrdup allocation on every successful write.

Save the return value of kstrdup into 'dup_page' before the strsep
loop and always free that instead. This fixes both the invalid-free
on the error path and the memory leak on the success path.

Apply the same fix to the identical UAC2_RATE_ATTRIBUTE macro in
f_uac2.c.
