Syzkaller found a null pointer dereference in ptp_ioctl
originating from the lack of a null check for tsevq.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a check for tsevq and
ensuring ptp_ioctl returns with an error if tsevq is null.

When you repost please make sure you CC everyone get_maintainer
(run on the patch file, not the paths) points out.
And CC Edward Adam Davis <eadavis@qq.com> since his fixing similar

will do it on the patch file too from now on.
