Subject: rtlwifi: rtl_usb: Fix for URB leaking when doing ifconfig up/down
From: Michael Schenk <michael.schenk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 575ddce0507789bf9830d089557d2199d2f91865 upstream.
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.
