usb: gadget: printer: eliminate random pointer dereference
struct printer_dev contains 3 list heads: tx_reqs, rx_reqs and rx_buffers.
There is just one instance of this structure in the driver and it is
file static, and as such initialized with all zeros.
If device_create() or cdev_add() fails then "goto fail" branch is taken,
which results in printer_cfg_unbind() call. The latter checks if
tx_reqs, rx_reqs and rx_buffers lists are empty. The check for emptiness
is in fact a check whether the "next" member of struct list_head points
to the head of the list. But the heads of the lists in question have
not been initialized yet and, as mentioned above, contain all zeros,
so list_empty() returns false and respective "while" loop body starts
executing. Here, container_of() just subtracts the offset of a struct
usb_request member from an address of this same member, which results in
a value somewhere near 0 or 0xfff...ff. And the argument to list_del()
dereferences such a pointer which causes a disaster.
This patch moves respective INIT_LIST_HEAD() invocations to a point before
"goto fail" branch can be taken.
