commit 16c4cb19fa85c648a803752eb63cac0ef69231c2 upstream.
Applying dynamic usbcore quirks in early booting when the slab is not yet ready would cause kernel panic of null pointer dereference because the quirk_count has been counted as 1 while the quirk_list was failed to allocate.

To tackle this odd, let's balance the quirk_count to 0 when the kcalloc call fails, and defer the quirk setting into a lower level callback which ensures that the kernel memory management has been initialized.
