4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpen...@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.
