Subject: xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference when cleaning up streams for removed host
From: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4b895868bb2da60a386a17cde3bf9ecbc70c79f4 upstream.
This off by one in stream_id indexing caused NULL pointer dereference and
soft lockup on machines with USB attached SCSI devices connected to a
hotpluggable xhci controller.
The code that cleans up pending URBs for dead hosts tried to dereference
a stream ring at the invalid stream_id 0.
ep->stream_info->stream_rings[0] doesn't point to a ring.
Start looping stream_id from 1 like in all the other places in the driver,
and check that the ring exists before trying to kill URBs on it.
