CVE-2026-74459: can: etas_es58x: es58x_read_bulk_callback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

can: etases58x: es58xreadbulkcallback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure

es58xreadbulkcallback() resubmits the RX URB after processing a received packet. If the resubmit succeeds, the URB remains anchored and will be handled by the normal RX path or by teardown.

However, if usbsubmiturb() fails, the callback unanchors the URB and then returns directly. This skips the existing freeurb path, so the coherent transfer buffer allocated with usballoccoherent() is not released.

Reuse the existing freeurb path after a resubmit failure so that the RX coherent buffer is freed before leaving the callback.
