Subject: [PATCH] usbnet: dereference after null check in usbnet_start_xmit()
 and __usbnet_read_cmd()

usbnet_start_xmit() - If info->tx_fixup is not defined by class driver,
NULL check does not happen for skb pointer and leads to NULL dereference.
__usbnet_read_cmd() - if data pointer is passed as NULL, memcpy will
dereference NULL pointer.
