Dmitry Vyukov reported that the syzkaller fuzzer uncovered a leak in
ser_gigaset (see
https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CACT4Y+Y+P7-pM0D4HTz4ZF6i+Rya22eOkPdnrv_OmDCMB7eQtg@mail.gmail.com).
This small patch fixes that. The commit explanation contains all the details to
understand how this leak made its way into the code.

This should eventually land in stable. No fixes tag because backporting is
probably not so straightforward for v4.3 and earlier. So I suggest I'll send
proper backports in about two weeks.
