3.19.8-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan at kernel.org>

commit cac9b50b0d75a1d50d6c056ff65c005f3224c8e0 upstream.

Fix null-pointer dereference at probe should a (malicious) Treo device
lack the expected endpoints.

Specifically, the Treo port-setup hack was dereferencing the bulk-in and
interrupt-in urbs without first making sure they had been allocated by
core.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
