CVE-2022-49713

Medium

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc2: Fix memory leak in dwc2_hcd_init usb_create_hcd will alloc memory for hcd, and we should call usb_put_hcd to free it when platform_get_resource() fails to prevent memory leak. goto error2 label instead error1 to fix this.
