[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 060/165] USB: serial: fix potential use-after-free after failed probe

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan at kernel.org>

commit 07fdfc5e9f1c966be8722e8fa927e5ea140df5ce upstream.

Fix return value in probe error path, which could end up returning
success (0) on errors. This could in turn lead to use-after-free or
double free (e.g. in port_remove) when the port device is removed.

Fixes: c706ebdfc895 ("USB: usb-serial: call port_probe and port_remove
at the right times")
