[PATCH 2/3] USB speedtouch: fix memory leak in error path

[PATCH 2/3] USB speedtouch: fix memory leak in error path

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Greg, this patch fixes a memory leak in the speedtouch driver.
The leak occurs when the ATM layer submits a skbuff for transmission,
but the driver rejects it (because the device has been unplugged for
example).  The ATM layer requires the driver to free the skbuff in this
case.  The patch is against your 2.6 kernel tree.
