dvb_usb_device_init() allocates a dvb_usb_device object, but it doesn't release it even when returning an error. The callers don't seem caring it as well, hence those memories are leaked. This patch assures releasing the memory at the error path in dvb_usb_device_init(). Also it makes sure that USB intfdata is reset and don't return the bogus pointer to the caller at the error path, too.
