Revert "usbtmc: convert to devm_kzalloc"
commit ab21b63e8aedfc73565dd9cdd51eb338341177cb upstream. This reverts commit e6c7efdcb76f11b04e3d3f71c8d764ab75c9423b. Turns out it was totally wrong. The memory is supposed to be bound to the kref, as the original code was doing correctly, not the device/driver binding as the devm_kzalloc() would cause. This fixes an oops when read would be called after the device was unbound from the driver.
