syzbot reported general protection fault in midibuf_is_full. the cause is linemidi pointer in struct usb_line6 isn't properly initialized. the pointer isn't initialized because there is race condition in line6_probe. it calls line6_init_cap_control first, which submits urb. and then it initializes it's data using private_init function. so it's possible line6_data_received is called before it's data isn't initialized.
