[PATCH][hid] Fix a NULL pointer dereference when we fail to allocate memory

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi,

If, in usb_hid_configure(), we fail to allocate storage for 'usbhid', 
 "if (!(usbhid = kzalloc(sizeof(struct usbhid_device), GFP_KERNEL)))", 
then we'll jump to the 'fail:' label where we have this code:
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbin);
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbout);
        usb_free_urb(usbhid->urbctrl);
Since we got here because we couldn't allocate storage for 'usbhid', 
what we have here is a NULL pointer dereference - ouch...

This patch solves that little problem by adding a new 
'fail_no_usbhid:' label after the problematic calls to 
usb_free_urb() and jumps to that one instead, in the problem case.
