4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Maximilain Schneider <max@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit e9a2d81b1761093386a0bb8a4f51642ac785ef63 upstream.
gs_destroy_candev() erroneously calls kfree() on a struct gs_can *, which is
allocated through alloc_candev() and should instead be freed using
free_candev() alone.
The inappropriate use of kfree() causes the kernel to hang when
gs_destroy_candev() is called.
Only the struct gs_usb * which is allocated through kzalloc() should be freed
using kfree() when the device is disconnected.
