Seven years ago we tried to fix a leak but actually introduced a double free instead. It was an understandable mistake because the code was a bit confusing and the free was done in the wrong place. The "skb" pointer is freed in both _rtl_usb_tx_urb_setup() and _rtl_usb_transmit(). The free belongs _rtl_usb_transmit() instead of _rtl_usb_tx_urb_setup() and I've cleaned the code up a bit to hopefully make it more clear.
