Subject[PATCH] USB: Avoid NULL pointer dereference in usb_disconnect()
If, in drivers/usb/core/hub.c::usb_disconnect(), 'udev' is NULL, then
we'll never get to the printing of a debug message and returning from
the function since we'll have already dereferenced the NULL pointer in
the bus_to_hcd(udev->bus) call.
This patch moves the dereference to after the test for NULL, thus
avoiding that potential crash.
