Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 3.18 15/16] usb: gadget: don't dereference g until
 after it has been null checked

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

[ Upstream commit b2fc059fa549fe6881d4c1f8d698b0f50bcd16ec ]

Avoid dereferencing pointer g until after g has been sanity null checked;
move the assignment of cdev much later when it is required into a more
local scope.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1222135 ("Dereference before null check")
