Subject: [PATCH] media: usb: msi2500: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in msi2500_stop_streaming()

In msi2500_stop_streaming(), there is an if statement on line 870 to
check whether dev->udev is NULL:
    if (dev->udev)

When dev->udev is NULL, it is used on line 877:
    msi2500_ctrl_msg(dev, CMD_STOP_STREAMING, 0)
        usb_control_msg(dev->udev, usb_sndctrlpipe(dev->udev, 0), ...)

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, dev->udev is checked before calling msi2500_ctrl_msg().

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
