Subject: [PATCH 4.14 34/65] USB: legousbtower: fix slab info leak at probe

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 1d427be4a39defadda6dd8f4659bc17f7591740f upstream.

Make sure to check for short transfers when retrieving the version
information at probe to avoid leaking uninitialised slab data when
logging it.
