If the routines work as you say, they probably are misnamed, and/or prototyped wrongly?
Also, you are making assumptions about how they are implemented, and relying
on the implementation details to be fixed for eternity.

I am just saying,

XXX_free(some_entity);
if(condtion)
     do_stuff(some_entity);

looks wrong, and if that's intentional, those routines really shouldn't be named as such.

There is an alias for usb_free_urb() named usb_put_urb().
I will resend the patch with such substitution.

I do not see any problems here.
usb_free_urb() just decrements refcnt of the urb.
While usb_anchor_urb() and usb_unanchor_urb() increment and decrement it 
as well.
So actual memory deallocation will happen in usb_unanchor_urb().

This part looks wrong - you free_urb(entry) then unanchor_urb(entry).

In case of __dev_alloc_skb() failure rtl8187_init_urbs()
calls usb_free_urb(entry) where 'entry' can points to urb
allocated at the previous iteration. That means refcnt will be
decremented incorrectly and the urb can be used after memory
deallocation.

The patch fixes the issue and implements error handling of init_urbs
in rtl8187_start().

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
