syzbot reported general protection fault in midibuf_is_full. the cause is linemidi pointer in struct usb_line6 isn't properly initialized.
the pointer isn't initialized because there is race condition in line6_probe. it calls line6_init_cap_control first, which submits urb. and then it initializes it's data using private_init function.
so it's possible line6_data_received is called before it's data isn't initialized.

Thanks for the patch! It's an issue I'm tracking now, too, and you submitted quicker. But, unfortunately, this swap does seem yet another potential race between the private_init call and line6_init_cap_control(). The actually needed initialization is line6_init_mid() call, and this can be fixed by moving to the appropriate place instead of inside each private_init callback.
So my current fix is like below.
thanks,
Takashi
