[PATCH 1/5] can: kvaser_usb: Avoid double free on URB submission failures

[Ahmed S. Darwish]

From: Ahmed S. Darwish <ahmed.darwish@xxxxxxxxx>

Upon a URB submission failure, the driver calls usb_free_urb()
but then manually frees the URB buffer by itself.  Meanwhile
usb_free_urb() has alredy freed out that transfer buffer since
we're the only code path holding a reference to this URB.

Remove two of such invalid manual free().
