[PATCH v2] usb: gadget: udc-xilinx: guard EP0 dequeue against empty queue

From: Wang Haoran <haoranwangsec at gmail.com>

The EP0 dequeue side, xudc_ep0_out() and xudc_ep0_in(), calls
list_first_entry() on ep0->queue without checking whether a request is
queued, while the enqueue side __xudc_ep0_queue() already guards the
same queue with list_empty() and the non-control endpoint handler
performs the same check before its own list_first_entry().

list_first_entry() never returns NULL on an empty list; it returns the
container_of() of the list head, i.e. a non-NULL wild pointer into the
enclosing struct xusb_ep. Switch both functions to
list_first_entry_or_null() and return early when no request is queued,
making the dequeue side consistent with the rest of the driver.

This is a defensive consistency fix found by static analysis.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261023073131.637062-1-lixicaicai@gmail.com
v2: refactor the commit description as a defensive consistency fix per
Suhan's review (the originally described bus-timing trigger is not
reachable without software first arming a buffer), and add the Fixes
tag. Carry Aldo's Reviewed-by. No code change.
