From: Michael Schenk <michael.schenk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In the function rtl_usb_start we pre-allocate a certain number of urbs for RX path but they will not be freed when calling rtl_usb_stop. This results in leaking urbs when doing ifconfig up and down. Eventually, the system has no available urbs.

It is an old bug.
