5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 44995e6f07028f798efd0c3c11a1efc78330f600 ]

It's possible that usb_choose_configuration() can get called when a
USB device has no driver. In this case the recent commit a87b8e3be926
("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override
usb_choose_configuration()") can cause a crash since it dereferenced
the driver structure without checking for NULL. Let's add a check.

A USB device with no driver is an anomaly, so make
usb_choose_configuration() return immediately if there is no driver.

This was seen in the real world when usbguard got ahold of a r8152
device at the wrong time. It can also be simulated via this on a
computer with one r8152-based USB Ethernet adapter:
  cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/r8152-cfgselector
  to_unbind="$(ls -d *-*)"
  real_dir="$(readlink -f "${to_unbind}")"
  echo "${to_unbind}" > unbind
  cd "${real_dir}"
  echo 0 > authorized
  echo 1 > authorized
