USB: check for hub driver not bound to root hub device
This patch (as1267) changes usb_kick_khubd() and hdev_to_hub() to make them more resilient against situations where a hub device isn't bound to the hub driver. The code assumes that if a root hub was successfully registered then it must be bound to the hub driver. But this assumption can fail if the user manually unbinds the hub driver, or more importantly, if the host controller dies causing usb_set_configuration to fail. To protect against these possibilities, make hdev_to_hub() check that the hub device is configured before dereferencing the active configuration, and make usb_kick_khubd() check that the pointer to the hub's private data structure isn't NULL.
