Subject: USB: serial: visor: fix crash on detecting device without write_urbs

commit cb3232138e37129e88240a98a1d2aba2187ff57c upstream.

The visor driver crashes in clie_5_attach() when a specially crafted USB
device without bulk-out endpoint is detected. This fix adds a check that
the device has proper configuration expected by the driver.
