It looks like there is a possibility of a double-free vulnerability on an
error path of the f_midi_set_alt function in the f_midi driver. If the
path is feasible then free_ep_req gets called twice:

         req->complete = f_midi_complete;
         err = usb_ep_queue(midi->out_ep, req, GFP_ATOMIC);
            => ...
             usb_gadget_giveback_request
               =>
                 f_midi_complete (CALLBACK)
                   (inside f_midi_complete, for various cases of status)
                   free_ep_req(ep, req); // first kfree
         if (err) {
                 ERROR(midi, "%s: couldn't enqueue request: %d\n",
                             midi->out_ep->name, err);
                 free_ep_req(midi->out_ep, req); // second kfree
                 return err;
         }

The double-free possibility was introduced with commit ad0d1a058eac
("usb: gadget: f_midi: fix leak on failed to enqueue out requests").
