Subject: USB: serial: console: fix use-after-free on disconnect

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit bd998c2e0df0469707503023d50d46cf0b10c787 upstream.

A clean-up patch removing two redundant NULL-checks from the console disconnect handler inadvertently also removed a third check. This could lead to the struct usb_serial being prematurely freed by the console code when a driver accepts but does not register any ports for an interface which also lacks endpoint descriptors.
