USB: serial: keyspan: fix NULL-derefs on open() and write()

Fix NULL-pointer dereferences on open() and write() which can be
triggered by a malicious USB device.

The current URB allocation helper would fail to initialise the newly
allocated URB if the device has unexpected endpoint descriptors,
something which could lead NULL-pointer dereferences in a number of
open() and write() paths when accessing the URB. For example:
