USB: Fix "slab-out-of-bounds Write" bug in usb_hcd_poll_rh_status



When the USB core code for getting root-hub status reports was
originally written, it was assumed that the hub driver would be its
only caller.  But this isn't true now; user programs can use usbfs to
communicate with root hubs and get status reports.  When they do this,
they may use a transfer_buffer that is smaller than the data returned
by the HCD, which will lead to a buffer overflow error when
usb_hcd_poll_rh_status() tries to store the status data.  This was
discovered by syzbot:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in memcpy include/linux/fortify-string.h:225 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in usb_hcd_poll_rh_status+0x5f4/0x780 drivers/usb/core/hcd.c:776
Write of size 2 at addr ffff88801da403c0 by task syz-executor133/4062

This patch fixes the bug by reducing the amount of status data if it
won't fit in the transfer_buffer.  If some data gets discarded then
the URB's completion status is set to -EOVERFLOW rather than 0, to let
the user know what happened.
