D28535: [KIO-MTP] Fix null pointer dereference

[Alexander Saoutkin]

  If you want to, feel free, I'm a bit tight on time. But I will say this. the whole `getDevice()` function confuses me. I'm not entirely sure why this `if` check is necessary at all. The lifetime of devices and its children (i.e storage) should be managed by the KMTPD daemon AFAICT. A device shouldn't be trying to re-open itself anywhere IMO. To me the getDevice() function should simply be a simple return to avoid this NULL issue happening. Even if a device doesn't exist anymore, no segfaults should happen when passing an "invalid" `LIBMTP_device_T` to any other `LIBMTP` function?
  
  So to be succinct, the only correct fix here is to change `getDevice()` to `return m_mtpdevice`?
