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.
