[PATCH] usb: hub: Minor refactoring in usb_hub_init()

[Austin Kim]

Normally when creation of workqueue fails, exception handling takes place
after the call to alloc_workqueue() is made.

But looking into usb_hub_init() function, 'return 0' statement is executed,
when alloc_workqueue() returns valid workqueue pointer.
       if (hub_wq)
               return 0;

This might make other Linux driver developers get confused 
because they could deduce that this is exceptional handling routine.

So perform minor refactoring by adding NULL pointer dereference check
routine right after the call to alloc_workqueue() is made.
