The HID lenovo probe function only attaches drvdata to one of the
USB interfaces, but lenovo_event() will get called for all USB interfaces
to which hid-lenovo is bound.
This allows a malicious device to fake being a device handled by
hid-lenovo, which generates events for which lenovo_event() has
special handling (and thus dereferences hid_get_drvdata()) on another
interface triggering a NULL pointer exception.
Add a check for hid_get_drvdata() returning NULL, avoiding this
possible NULL pointer exception.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
