Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set,\nusb_free_urb() -> urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double\nfree of the transfer buffer.\n\n  BUG: KASAN: double-free in usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0\n  Free of addr ffff8881069ccb80 by task trigger.sh/285\n\n  Call Trace:\n   kfree+0x113/0x3c0\n   usb_free_urb.part.0+0x91/0xb0\n\nDrop the redundant kfree(buf); usb_free_urb() already releases the transfer\nbuffer.
