5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jeffin Philip <redacted>

commit 6e74ac5c596fd246e37eadfc354567179ccbe9aa upstream.

usb_put_function_instance() attempts to dereference fd inside fi struct
to get mod in uvc_alloc_inst() error path. However, fd is not allocated
until later in try_get_usb_function_instance() after allocating fi in
uvc_alloc_inst() and thus guranteed to be null in error path. Fix this
by adding a null check for fi->fd that returns if fd is null.
