commit b97053df0f04747c3c1e021ecbe99db675342954 upstream.
The pointer cs_desc return from snd_usb_find_clock_source could
be null, so there is a potential null pointer dereference issue.
Fix this by adding a null check before dereference.

Fixes: 1dc669fed61a ("ALSA: usb-audio: UAC2: support read-only freq control")
[ kovalev: bp to fix CVE-2021-47211; added Fixes tag; the null
check was added into both UAC2 and UAC3 branches since the
older kernel still has the clock source lookup split between
snd_usb_find_clock_source() and snd_usb_find_clock_source_v3()
(see upstream commit 9ec730052fa2); return -ENXIO instead of 0
to match upstream behavior, where the caller reaches the clock
validation path and returns -ENXIO ]

v2:
- Return -ENXIO instead of 0 on missing cs_desc to match upstream
behavior. Suggested by Ben Hutchings.
