Hi,

props[] is sized for exactly the number of properties dwc3_host_init()
can populate, leaving no slot for the NULL terminator
property_entries_dup() requires when usb3_lpm_capable,
usb2_lpm_disable, and the <=3.00a PED quirk are all true. Size props[]
for one more slot.

This also clears dwc->xhci on the error path and adds a NULL check in
dwc3_host_exit(), since a failed dwc3_host_init() otherwise leaves a
dangling pointer that dwc3_host_exit() dereferences unconditionally on
removal/shutdown.

Fixes: 8da7644493b4 ("usb: dwc3: Specify maximum number of XHCI interrupters")
