Bug#499527: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: Kernel Oops with Belkin 54g USB wireless network adapter



This patch should fix the bug.  All the other cleanup functions called
by rt2x00lib_remove_dev() appear to check for a null argument or for a
flag set by the allocation function before doing anything, so they
should not need additional checks.

This seems safe for a stable update.

Ben.
