[PATCH v2 resend] drivers: usb: host: fix NULL pointer dereferences triggered by unhandled errors in xhci_create_rhub_port_array()

[Zixuan Fu]

In xhci_create_rhub_port_array(), when rhub->num_ports is zero, 
rhub->ports would not be set; when kcalloc_node() fails, rhub->ports
would be set to NULL. In these two cases, xhci_create_rhub_port_array()
just returns void, and thus its callers are unaware of the error.

Then rhub->ports is dereferenced in xhci_usb3_hub_descriptor() or 
xhci_usb2_hub_descriptor().

To fix the bug, xhci_setup_port_arrays() should return an integer to 
indicate a possible error, and its callers should handle the error.

In the driver, xhci_create_rhub_port_array() is only used in 
xhci_setup_port_arrays(), and only xhci_mem_init() calls
xhci_setup_port_arrays() and does all cleanup work when it fails.
Specifically, xhci_mem_init() calls xhci_mem_cleanup(), which eventually
calls kfree(xhci->usb2_rhub.ports) and kfree(xhci->usb3_rhub.ports). For
this reason, when xhci_create_rhub_port_array() fails, 
xhci_setup_port_arrays() should return the error code directly, without
freeing the memory allocated in this function.

The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:

v2:
* Explain the reason why xhci_setup_port_arrays() returns without freeing the memory in error handling code.
  Thank Greg KH for helpful advice.
