iso_buffer should be set to NULL after use and free in the while loop.
In the case of isochronous URB in the while loop, iso_buffer is
allocated and after sending it to server, buffer is deallocated. And
then, if the next URB in the while loop is not a isochronous pipe,
iso_buffer still holds the previously deallocated buffer address and
kfree tries to free wrong buffer address.

Somehow I would have put it after the kfree, since the kfree makes the
value invalid.  iso_buffer is already initialized to NULL for the first
iteration.  If you want to put the setting to NULL at the top of the loop,
maybe the = NULL in the first line should be removed.


It makes sense to clear it after kfree() on line 150.

This kfree() and clearing iso_buffer are necessary only for
PIPE_ISOCHRONOUS case.

Please add a comment above that this is for isoc case.
