Subject: [PATCH] USB: usbip: fix null-ptr-deref in status_show_vhci()

If usb_add_hcd() fails in vhci_hcd_probe() (i.e., a probe failure),
the error path calls usb_remove_hcd() and also sets 
pdev->dev.driver_data to NULL.

Consequently, any subsequent call to platform_get_drvdata(pdev) 
(which returns pdev->dev.driver_data) may yield NULL, causing a 
crash if that pointer is dereferenced.

Fix this by adding a sanity check to ensure "hcd" is non-NULL
before proceeding with further operations.
