[PATCH][V2] usb: storage: return on error to avoid a null pointer dereference

From: Colin King

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When us->extra is null the driver is not initialized, however, a
later call to osd200_scsi_to_ata is made that dereferences
us->extra, causing a null pointer dereference. The code
currently detects and reports that the driver is not initialized;
add a return to avoid the subsequent dereference issue in this
check.

Thanks to Alan Stern for pointing out that srb->result needs setting
to DID_ERROR << 16

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#100308 ("Dereference after null check")
