Subject: usb: roles: fix NULL pointer issue when put module's reference
From: Xu Yang <xu.yang_2@xxxxxxx>
commit 1c9be13846c0b2abc2480602f8ef421360e1ad9e upstream.
In current design, usb role class driver will get usb_role_switch parent's
module reference after the user get usb_role_switch device and put the
reference after the user put the usb_role_switch device. However, the
parent device of usb_role_switch may be removed before the user put the
usb_role_switch. If so, then, NULL pointer issue will be met when the user
put the parent module's reference.
This will save the module pointer in structure of usb_role_switch. Then,
we don't need to find module by iterating long relations.
Fixes: 5c54fcac9a9d ("usb: roles: Take care of driver module reference counting")
