Although the usb_alloc_urb uses GFP_ATOMIC, tring to make sure the memory allocated not to be NULL. But in some low-memory situation, it's still possible to return NULL. It'll pass urb as argument in usb_fill_bulk_urb, which will finally lead to a NULL pointer dereference. Fix it by adding additional check. Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false positive or hard to trigger.
