Subject: [PATCH] media: dtv5100: fix buffer overflow in dtv5100_i2c_msg()

syzbot reported a field-spanning write where rlen (4096 bytes) is
copied into st->data, which is only 80 bytes in size. This causes a
buffer overflow and triggers KASAN warnings.

Clamp the copy size using min_t() to ensure we never write beyond the
bounds of st->data, and pass the clamped size to usb_control_msg().

This fixes the following syzbot report:
