This patch fixes a segfault by adding a null check on synth in
speakup_con_update(). The segfault can be reproduced as follows:
- Login into a text console
- Load speakup and speakup_soft modules
- Remove speakup_soft
- Switch to a graphics console
This is caused by lack of a null check on `synth` in
speakup_con_update().
Here's the sequence that causes the segfault:
- When we remove the speakup_soft, synth_release() sets the synth
to null.
- After that, when we change the virtual console to graphics
console, vt_notifier_call() is fired, which then calls
speakup_con_update().
- Inside speakup_con_update() there's no null check on synth,
so it calls synth_printf().
- Inside synth_printf(), synth_buffer_add() and synth_start(),
both access synth, when it is null and causing a segfault.
Therefore adding a null check on synth solves the issue.
