ptp: Fixes a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Syzkaller found a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
originating from the lack of a null check for tsevq.

```

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for tsevq and
ensuring ptp_ioctl returns with an error if tsevq is null.
