From: Colin Ian King colin.king@canonical.com

[ 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.
