syzbot is reporting an ERR_PTR(-EINTR) pointer dereference at
vhci_shutdown_connection() [1], for kthread_create() became killable due
to commit 786235eeba0e1e85 ("kthread: make kthread_create() killable").

When SIGKILLed while attach_store() is calling kthread_get_run(),
ERR_PTR(-EINTR) is stored into vdev->ud.tcp_{rx,tx}, and then
kthread_stop_put() is called on vdev->ud.tcp_{rx,tx} from
vhci_shutdown_connection() because vdev->ud.tcp_{rx,tx} != NULL.

Prior to commit 9720b4bc76a83807 ("staging/usbip: convert to kthread"),
"current" pointer is assigned to vdev->ud.tcp_{rx,tx} by usbip_thread()
kernel thread, and hence vdev->ud.tcp_{rx,tx} != NULL means a valid task
pointer.

Therefore, make kthread_get_run() return NULL when kthread_create()
failed. This patch only fixes error pointer dereference problem, for
the code prior to that commit was already providing manual recovery
interface.
