SRU Justification:

[Impact]

ALSA: usb-audio: fix null pointer dereference on pointer cs_desc

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.

[Fix]

Oracular: not affected
Noble:    not affected
Jammy:    not affected
Focal:    backported from upstream
Bionic:   sent to ESM ML
Xenial:   sent to ESM ML
Trusty:   out of scope (medium CVE)

[Test Plan]

Compile and boot tested.

[Where problems could occur]

The change occurs in the ALSA usb-audio driver. Issues might
manifest as choppy or missing audio.
