During that repeated hotplug,\nsnd_dualsense_ih_match() can run while the controller's USB device is\nbeing disconnected. kobject_get_path() walks ancestor kobjects and\ndereferences their names; if the USB device kobject name is no longer\nvalid, this can fault in strlen():\n\n  RIP: 0010:strlen+0x10/0x30\n  Call Trace:\n   kobject_get_path+0x34/0x150\n   snd_dualsense_ih_match+0x49/0xd0 [snd_usb_audio]\n   input_register_device+0x566/0x6a0\n   ps_probe+0xb89/0x1590 [hid_playstation]\n\nThe same ownership check can be done without building kobject path\nstrings.
