In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: mtu3: fix kernel panic at qmu transfer done irq handler

When handle qmu transfer irq, it will unlock @mtu->lock before give back
request, if another thread handle disconnect event at the same time, and
try to disable ep, it may lock @mtu->lock and free qmu ring, then qmu
irq hanlder may get a NULL gpd, avoid the KE by checking gpd's value before
handling it.

e.g.
qmu done irq on cpu0 thread running on cpu1

qmu_done_tx()
handle gpd [0]
mtu3_requ_complete() mtu3_gadget_ep_disable()
unlock @mtu->lock
give back request lock @mtu->lock
mtu3_ep_disable()
mtu3_gpd_ring_free()
unlock @mtu->lock
lock @mtu->lock
get next gpd [1]

[1]: goto [0] to handle next gpd, and next gpd may be NULL.
