From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx> In rtw_os_xmit_resource_alloc(), if usb_alloc_urb() fails, then the memory `pxmitbuf_pallocated_buf` which is allocated by kzalloc() is not properly released before returning. So this patch add kfree() on the above error path to release it. As there is no proper device to test with, no runtime testing was performed.
