When endpoint_alloc() return failed in xillyusb_setup_base_eps(), 'xdev->msg_ep' will be freed but not set to NULL. That lets program enter fail handling to cleanup_dev() in xillyusb_probe(). Check for 'xdev->msg_ep' is invalid in cleanup_dev() because 'xdev->msg_ep' did not set to NULL when was freed. So the UAF problem for 'xdev->msg_ep' is triggered.

Set 'xdev->msg_ep' to NULL after being freed in xillyusb_setup_base_eps() to fix the UAF problem.
