usb: usb-acpi: Fix oops due to freeing uninitialized pld pointer

If reading the ACPI _PLD port location object fails, or the port
doesn't have a _PLD ACPI object then the *pld pointer will remain
uninitialized and oops when freed.

The patch that caused this is currently in next, on its way to v6.9.
So no need to add this to stable or current 6.8 kernel.
