[PATCH 3.4 12/12] usb: fix cleanup after failure in hub_configure()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Krzysztof Mazur <krzysiek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d0308d4b6b02597f39fc31a9bddf7bb3faad5622 upstream.

If the hub_configure() fails after setting the hdev->maxchild
the hub->ports might be NULL or point to uninitialized kzallocated
memory causing NULL pointer dereference in hub_quiesce() during cleanup.

Now after such error the hdev->maxchild is set to 0 to avoid cleanup
of uninitialized ports.
