USB: ldusb: fix read info leaks



Fix broken read implementation, which could be used to trigger slab info
leaks.

The driver failed to check if the custom ring buffer was still empty
when waking up after having waited for more data. This would happen on
every interrupt-in completion, even if no data had been added to the
ring buffer (e.g. on disconnect events).

Due to missing sanity checks and uninitialised (kmalloced) ring-buffer
entries, this meant that huge slab info leaks could easily be triggered.

Note that the empty-buffer check after wakeup is enough to fix the info
leak on disconnect, but let's clear the buffer on allocation and add a
sanity check to read() to prevent further leaks.
