Subject: usb: renesas_usbhs: avoid NULL pointer derefernce in
 usbhsf_pkt_handler()

commit 894f2fc44f2f3f48c36c973b1123f6ab298be160 upstream.

When unexpected situation happened (e.g. tx/rx irq happened while
DMAC is used), the usbhsf_pkt_handler() was possible to cause NULL
pointer dereference like the followings:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = c0004000
[00000000] *pgd=00000000

r3 : 00000000  r2 : 0000009c  r1 : c0725dc4  r0 : ef19ceb4

This patch adds a condition to avoid the dereference.
