USB: fix needless failure under certain conditions
in devices.c we have a piece of code for dealing with losing in a race. If we indeed lose the race we don't care whether our own memory allocation worked. The check for that is so early that we return early even if we don't have to. Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
