Upon module load, a kthread is created targeting the
pvr2_context_thread_func function, which may call pvr2_context_destroy
and thus call kfree() on the context object. However, that might happen
before the usb hub_event handler is able to notify the driver. This
patch adds a sanity check before the invalid read reported by syzbot,
within the context disconnection call stack.
Fixes: e5be15c63804 ("V4L/DVB (7711): pvrusb2: Fix race on module unload")
Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+621409285c4156a009b3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
