In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: Fix the memory leak in raw_gadget driver
Currently, increasing raw_dev->count happens before invoke the
raw_queue_event(), if the raw_queue_event() return error, invoke
raw_release() will not trigger the dev_free() to be called.
