A null-ptr crash was found in usb driver and it crashed with fault-inject. I have made a patch that simply checks for this null pointer, but I am not sure if this will affect certain functions or logic. I hope you can check it carefully please and the format meets the requirements this time.



The crash info:
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000021: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN NOPTI
