commit 5d9b70f7d5 upstream.
Avoid null pointer dereference if some function is walking through the
devs array accessing members of a new virt_dev that is mid allocation.
Add the virt_dev to xhci->devs[i] _after_ the virt_device and all its
members are properly allocated.
issue found by KASAN: null-ptr-deref in xhci_find_slot_id_by_port
"Quick analysis suggests that xhci_alloc_virt_device() is not mutex
protected. If so, there is a time frame where xhci->devs[slot_id] is set
but not fully initialized. Specifically, xhci->devs[i]->udev can be NULL."

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
