[PATCH v4] usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix the issue that gs_start_io crashed due to accessing null pointer

From: 胡连勤

From: Lianqin Hu <hulianqin@xxxxxxxx>

Considering that in some extreme cases,
when u_serial driver is accessed by multiple threads,
Thread A is executing the open operation and calling the gs_open,
Thread B is executing the disconnect operation and calling the
gserial_disconnect function,The port->port_usb pointer will be set to NULL.

E.g.
Thread A Thread B
gs_open() gadget_unbind_driver()
gs_start_io() composite_disconnect()
gs_start_rx() gserial_disconnect()
... ...
spin_unlock(&port->port_lock)
status = usb_ep_queue() spin_lock(&port->port_lock)
spin_lock(&port->port_lock) port->port_usb = NULL
gs_free_requests(port->port_usb->in) spin_unlock(&port->port_lock)
Crash

This causes thread A to access a null pointer (port->port_usb is null)
when calling the gs_free_requests function, causing a crash.

If port_usb is NULL, the release request will be skipped as it
will be done by gserial_disconnect.

So add a null pointer check to gs_start_io before attempting
to access the value of the pointer port->port_usb.
