From: Nobuo Iwata <nobuo.iwata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit d79cda045e3bacb7e754a5324cd3d4ce80708eb1 upstream. This patch fixes possibility of dereference by NULLL pointer in "[PATCH v5 1/3] usbip: vhci extension: modifications to vhci driver" which has been merged to 4.9-rc1. It occurs when a URB with pointer to invalid USB/IP device is enqueued in race condition against detach operation. A pointer was passed to vdev_to_vhci() before NULL check. In vdev_to_vhci(), there's a dereference by the pointer. This patch moves vdev_to_vhci() after NULL check of the pointer.
