Subject: [PATCH v3] usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack

Allocate buffers on HEAP instead of STACK for local structures
that are to be received using usb_control_msg().

  Changes in v3:
   * rebased against usb-next;
   * removed Tested-by: Alfredo Rafael Vicente Boix <alviboi@...il.com>;
   * removed Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
     since this patch doesn't apply against v4.10.12
  Changes in v2:
   * made checkpatch happy with the format string passed to dev_info
     in tower_probe() (merged two parts into a single string literal);
   * changed commit message to better reflect location of the module;
     was: USB: legousbtower: Fix buffers on stack;
   * added Tested-by: Alfredo Rafael Vicente Boix <alviboi@...il.com>
     and Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
