Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net/usb: pegasus: do not use stack for URB buffers

Currently pegasus passes stack memory (which must not be used for DMA
transfers) as URB buffers with get_registers(), set_registers() and
set_register(). Apply fix inside these functions instead of changing every
call site.

Stack usage was introduced by recent commit 323b34963d11 "drivers: net: usb:
pegasus: fix control urb submission".

Patch is only compile tested.
