Subject: [PATCH] usb: raw-gadget: cap raw_io transfer length to KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE

The previous commit removed the PAGE_SIZE limit on transfer length of
raw_io buffer in order to avoid any problems with emulating USB devices
whose full configuration descriptor exceeds PAGE_SIZE in length. However
this also removes the upperbound on user supplied length, allowing very
large values to be passed to the allocator.

syzbot on fuzzing the transfer length with very large value (1.81GB)
results in kmalloc() to fall back to the page allocator, which triggers
a kernel warning as the page allocator cannot handle allocations more
than MAX_PAGE_ORDER/KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.

Since there is no limit imposed on the size of buffer for both control
and non control transfers, cap the raw_io transfer length to
KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and return -EINVAL for larger transfer length to
prevent any warnings from the page allocator.
