usb: gadget: composite: Fix possible double free memory bug
composite_dev_cleanup call from the failure of configfs_composite_bind frees up the cdev->os_desc_req and cdev->req. If the previous calls of bind and unbind is successful these will carry stale values. Consider the below sequence of function calls: configfs_composite_bind() composite_dev_prepare() - Allocate cdev->req, cdev->req->buf composite_os_desc_req_prepare() - Allocate cdev->os_desc_req, cdev->os_desc_req->buf configfs_composite_unbind() composite_dev_cleanup() - free the cdev->os_desc_req->buf and cdev->req->buf Next composition switch configfs_composite_bind() - If it fails goto err_comp_cleanup will call the composite_dev_cleanup() function composite_dev_cleanup() - calls kfree up with the stale values of cdev->req->buf and cdev->os_desc_req from the previous configfs_composite_bind call. The free call on these stale values leads to double free. Hence, Fix this issue by setting request and buffer pointer to NULL after kfree.
