Subject: USB: resizing usbmon binary interface buffer causes protection faults

Enlarging the buffer size via the MON_IOCT_RING_SIZE ioctl causes
general protection faults. It appears the culprit is an incorrect
argument to mon_free_buff: instead of passing the size of the current
buffer being freed, the size of the new buffer is passed.

Use the correct size argument to mon_free_buff when changing the size of
the buffer.
