Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 065/165] xhci-mem.c: Check for ring->first_seg != NULL

From: Kautuk Consul <consul.kautuk@...il.com>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 0e6c7f746ea99089fb3263709075c20485a479ae upstream.

There are 2 situations wherein the xhci_ring* might not get freed:
- When xhci_ring_alloc() -> xhci_segment_alloc() returns NULL and
  we goto the fail: label in xhci_ring_alloc. In this case, the ring
  will not get kfreed.
- When the num_segs argument to xhci_ring_alloc is passed as 0 and
  we try to free the rung after that.
  ( This doesn't really happen as of now in the code but we seem to
    be entertaining num_segs=0 in xhci_ring_alloc )

This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31.
