Subject: HID: hidraw: fix list->buffer memleak
From: Matthieu CASTET <[email protected]>
commit 4c7b417ecb756e85dfc955b0e7a04fd45585533e upstream.
If we don't read fast enough hidraw device, hidraw_report_event
will cycle and we will leak list->buffer.
Also list->buffer are not free on release.
After this patch, kmemleak report nothing.
