#1267238 — [PATCH] [media] hackrf: don't emit dev debug on a kfree'd or null dev

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

Static analysis with smatch detected a couple of issues:

drivers/media/usb/hackrf/hackrf.c:1533 hackrf_probe()
  error: we previously assumed 'dev' could be null (see line 1366)
drivers/media/usb/hackrf/hackrf.c:1533 hackrf_probe()
  error: dereferencing freed memory 'dev'

A dev_dbg message is being output on a kfree'd dev.  Worse, if dev
is not allocated earlier, on, a null pointer deference on dev->dev
can occur onthe deb_dbg call.  Clean this up by only printing a debug
message if dev is not null and has not been kfree'd.
