4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <jo...@kernel.org>
commit 2c25a2c818023df64463aac3288a9f969491e507 upstream.
A SuperSpeed hub descriptor does not have any variable-length fields so
bail out when reading a short descriptor.
This avoids parsing and leaking two bytes of uninitialised slab data
through sysfs removable-attributes.
Fixes: dbe79bbe9dcb ("USB 3.0 Hub Changes")
