Subject: rsi: fix memory leak on buf and usb_reg_buf
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit d35ef8f846c72d84bfccf239c248c84f79c3a7e8 ]
In the cases where len is too long, the error return path fails to
kfree allocated buffers buf and usb_reg_buf. The simplest fix is to
perform the sanity check on len before the allocations to avoid having
to do the kfree'ing in the first place.
