[SRU Xenial 0/3] CVE-2021-37159

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

[Impact]
On some error paths during USB HSO probe, the driver would do a
use-after-free or double-free. This could allow malicous devices to
cause a DoS on the system or possibly execute arbritary code.

[Fix]
The first commit removes some error messages, making the backport easier
and less error prone. The second commit also helps with backports, but
also fix a secondary issue. The final commit had a small change due to
hso_free_net_device being changed.

[Potential regression]
USB HSO devices could fail to be correctly probe or function adequately.
