4.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit df3334c223a033f562645712e832ca4cbb326bbf upstream. Currently the driver attempts to spin lock on udc->lock before a NULL pointer check is performed on udc, hence there is a potential null pointer dereference on udc->lock. Fix this by moving the null check on udc before the lock occurs.
