If some error occurs, URB buffers should also be freed. If they aren't freed with the dvb here, the em28xx_dvb_fini call doesn't frees the URB buffers as dvb is set to NULL. The function in which error occurs should do all the cleanup for the allocations it had done.
Tested the patch with the reproducer provided by syzbot. This patch fixes the memleak.
