A type of inconsistency that can show up in control URBs is when the
setup packet's wLength value does not match the URB's
transfer_buffer_length field. The two should always be equal;
differences could lead to information leaks or undefined behavior for
OUT transfers or overruns for IN transfers.
This patch adds a test for such mismatches during URB submission. If
the test fails, the submission is rejected with a -EBADR error code
(which is not used elsewhere in the USB core), and a debugging message
is logged for people interested in tracking down these errors.
