Subject: usb: gadget: don't dereference g until after it has been null checked

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.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.
