Subject: [077/121] USB: keyspan: fix null-deref at disconnect and release

3.2.51-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit ff8a43c10f1440f07a5faca0c1556921259f7f76 upstream.

Make sure to fail properly if the device is not accepted during attach
in order to avoid null-pointer derefs (of missing interface private
data) at disconnect or release.
