Subject[PATCH] usb: core: Null deref in kernel with USB webcams.

Subject: [PATCH] usb: core: Null deref in kernel with USB webcams.

Fixes: Ubuntu Launchpad bug 1827452

This is my first attempt at a kernel contribution so sorry if sloppy.

There is some kind of race condition affecting Logitech
webcams that crash USB with a null dereference.
Affects raspberry pi devices as well as x86.
No check on dev before dereference.
Simple fix for issue experienced for months in
both x86 and arm/rpi environments.
