Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] pegasus: fixes URB buffer allocation size;

usb_fill_bulk_urb() receives buffer length parameter 8 bytes larger
than what's allocated by alloc_skb(); This seems to be a problem with
older (pegasus usb-1.1) devices, which may silently return more data
than the maximal packet length.
