We can see in this driver that prm->ureq[i].req != NULL will only be
true from either u_audio_start_capture() or u_audio_start_playback()
where after allocating the request it is immediately queued. So
generally the lifetime of the request is tied to its queued/pending
status.

But you bring up a good point, it's possible usb_ep_queue() could
have failed so we have to take care of the potential memory leak
since the completion wouldn't get called.

We should do free_request() either when ep_queue() fails or when
ep_dequeue() returns error. Do you have any preference? I'm leaning
toward catching it here in free_ep() as it's only one call site to take
care of instead of two ;-)

Thanks,
Jack
