Subject: [PATCH 3.10 020/143] USB: usb_driver_claim_interface: add sanity checking

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.com>

commit 0b818e3956fc1ad976bee791eadcbb3b5fec5bfd upstream.

Attacks that trick drivers into passing a NULL pointer
to usb_driver_claim_interface() using forged descriptors are
known. This thwarts them by sanity checking.
