staging: comedi: ni_usb6501: Fix possible double-free of ->usb_rx_buf
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828420 commit af4b54a2 upstream. `ni6501_alloc_usb_buffers()` is called from `ni6501_auto_attach()` to allocate RX and TX buffers for USB transfers. It allocates `devpriv->usb_rx_buf` followed by `devpriv->usb_tx_buf`. If the allocation of `devpriv->usb_tx_buf` fails, it frees `devpriv->usb_rx_buf`, leaving the pointer set dangling, and returns an error. Later, `ni6501_detach()` will be called from the core comedi module code to clean up. `ni6501_detach()` also frees both `devpriv->usb_rx_buf` and `devpriv->usb_tx_buf`, but `devpriv->usb_rx_buf` may have already beed freed, leading to a double-free error. Fix it bu removing the call to `kfree(devpriv->usb_rx_buf)` from `ni6501_alloc_usb_buffers()`, relying on `ni6501_detach()` to free the memory.
