Currently, it checks the corespoding virt-dev pointer and returns directly (w/o issuing disable slot command) if it's null. This is unnecessary and will cause problems in case where virt-dev allocation fails and xhci_disable_slot() is called to roll back the hardware state. Refer to the implementation of xhci_alloc_dev(). This patch removes lines to check virt-dev in xhci_disable_slot(). Fixes: f9e609b82479 ("usb: xhci: Add helper function xhci_disable_slot().")
