4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Lin Yi <teroincn@xxxxxxx> commit 2908b076f5198d231de62713cb2b633a3a4b95ac upstream. The write_parport_reg_nonblock() helper takes a reference to the struct mos_parport, but failed to release it in a couple of error paths after allocation failures, leading to a memory leak. Johan said that move the kref_get() and mos_parport assignment to the end of urbtrack initialisation is a better way, so move it. and mos_parport do not used until urbtrack initialisation.
