Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: Fix NULL dereference in create_fixed_stream_quirk()

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit 0f886ca12765d20124bd06291c82951fd49a33be upstream.

create_fixed_stream_quirk() may cause a NULL-pointer dereference by accessing the non-existing endpoint when a USB device with a malformed USB descriptor is used.

This patch avoids it simply by adding a sanity check of bNumEndpoints before the accesses.
