Subject: [PATCH 4.19 30/55] drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c: fix a possible null pointer access.

From: Pan Zhang <zhangpan26@...wei.com>

[ Upstream commit 306d5acbfc66e7cccb4d8f91fc857206b8df80d1 ]

1002     if ((quirks & MT_QUIRK_IGNORE_DUPLICATES) && mt) {
1003         struct input_mt_slot *i_slot = &mt->slots[slotnum];
1004
1005         if (input_mt_is_active(i_slot) &&
1006             input_mt_is_used(mt, i_slot))
1007             return -EAGAIN;
1008     }

We previously assumed 'mt' could be null (see line 1002).

The following situation is similar, so add a judgement.
