#1729759 — [PATCH 3.16 065/233] watchdog: pcwd_usb: fix NULL-deref at probe

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit 46c319b848268dab3f0e7c4a5b6e9146d3bca8a4 upstream.

Make sure to check the number of endpoints to avoid dereferencing a
NULL-pointer should a malicious device lack endpoints.
