The idregs_debug_show() maybe return nullptr, we need to check desc
before dereference it to avoid possible null pointer dereferences.

Can you show a case where this happens in practice?

The check for NULL is already in idregs_debug_next(), and I don't see
how this can actually be triggered.

Thanks,

I haven't found a scenario that can trigger this problem,this patch was
discovered during code review,I will try to prove it.

Thanks for your work.
