Subject: xhci: Fix ring leak in failure path of xhci_alloc_virt_device()
Message-ID: <20180111170136.abfqwdgvgapfiumn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
This is a stable-only fix for the backport of commit 5d9b70f7d52e
("xhci: Don't add a virt_dev to the devs array before it's fully
allocated").
In branches that predate commit c5628a2af83a ("xhci: remove endpoint
ring cache") there is an additional failure path in
xhci_alloc_virt_device() where ring cache allocation fails, in
which case we need to free the ring allocated for endpoint 0.

This is build-tested only.
