4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Dan Carpenter dan.carpenter@oracle.com
commit e33eab9ded328ccc14308afa51b5be7cbe78d30b upstream.
The "r" variable is an int and "bufsize" is an unsigned int so the comparison is type promoted to unsigned. If usb_control_msg() returns a negative that is treated as a high positive value and the error handling doesn't work.
