Net, USB, Option, hso: Do not dereference NULL pointer

In drivers/net/usb/hso.c::hso_create_bulk_serial_device() we have this
code:
...
	serial = kzalloc(sizeof(*serial), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!serial)
		goto exit;
...
exit:
	hso_free_tiomget(serial);
...
hso_free_tiomget() directly dereferences its argument, which in the
example above is a NULL pointer, ouch.
I could just add a 'if (serial)' test at the 'exit' label, but since most
freeing functions in the kernel accept NULL pointers (and it seems like
this was also assumed here) I opted to instead change 'hso_free_tiomget()'
so that it is safe to call it with a NULL argument. I also modified the
function to get rid of a pointles conditional before the call to
'usb_free_urb()' since that function already tests for NULL itself -
besides fixing the NULL deref this change also buys us a few bytes in
size.
Before:
$ size drivers/net/usb/hso.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  32200     592    9960   42752    a700 drivers/net/usb/hso.o
After:
$ size drivers/net/usb/hso.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  32196     592    9960   42748    a6fc drivers/net/usb/hso.o
