A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

Applying dynamic usbcore quirks in early booting when the slab is
not yet ready would cause kernel panic of null pointer dereference
because the quirk_count has been counted as 1 while the quirk_list
was failed to allocate.
i.e.,
[ 1.044970] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

To tackle this odd, let's balance the quirk_count to 0 when the kcalloc
call fails, and defer the quirk setting into a lower level callback
which ensures that the kernel memory management has been initialized.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
