[PATCH] usb: atm: ueagle-atm: fix use-after-free in uea_upload_pre_firmware

[Yuhong Cheng]

syzbot reported a slab-use-after-free read in uea_upload_pre_firmware. This is because the usb_device is passed as context to request_firmware_nowait but its reference count is not incremented. Thus, if the USB device is disconnected before the firmware load completes, the callback accesses a freed usb_device.

Fix this by taking a reference with usb_get_dev() before calling request_firmware_nowait() and releasing it with usb_put_dev() in the completion callback or if the request fails to start.
