usb: core : hub: Fix BOS 'NULL pointer' kernel panic When a USB 3.0 mass storage device is disconnected in transporting state, storage device driver may handle it as a transport error and reset the device by invoking usb_reset_and_verify_device() and following could happen: in usb_reset_and_verify_device(): udev->bos = NULL; For U1/U2 enabled devices, driver will disable LPM, and in some conditions: from usb_unlocked_disable_lpm() --> usb_disable_lpm() --> usb_enable_lpm() udev->bos->ss_cap->bU1devExitLat; And it causes 'NULL pointer' and 'kernel panic': [ 157.976257] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000010 ...

[ 158.214954] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception This commit moves 'udev->bos = NULL' behind usb_unlocked_disable_lpm() to prevent from NULL pointer access. Issue can be reproduced by following setup: 1) A SS pen drive behind a SS hub connected to the host. 2) Transporting data between the pen drive and the host. 3) Abruptly disconnect hub and pen drive from host. 4) With a chance it crashes.
