Subject: [PATCH] usb: core: Warn if an URB's transfer_buffer is on stack

We see a large number of fixes to several drivers to remove the usage of
on-stack buffers feeding into USB transfer functions. Make it easier to spot
the offenders by adding a warning in usb_start_wait_urb() for
urb->transfer_buffer to be located on the stack.
