Subject: [PATCH] usb-linux.c: fix buffer overflow

In usb-linux.c:usb_host_handle_control, we pass a 1024-byte buffer and
length to the kernel.  However, the length was provided by the caller
of dev->handle_packet, and is not checked, so the kernel might provide
too much data and overflow our buffer.

For example, hw/usb-uhci.c could set the length to 2047.
hw/usb-ohci.c looks like it might go up to 4096 or 8192.

This causes a qemu crash, as reported here:
  http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg18447.html

This patch increases the usb-linux.c buffer size to 2048 to fix the
specific device reported, and adds a check to avoid the overflow in
any case.

Increasing the buffer to 2048 is all that's necessary to fix the
original bug report.  It might make sense to increase the buffer size
more (hw/usb-musb.c has some comments about 32k buffers).

I don't understand all of the USB code too well, so the rest of the
patch might not be optimal -- maybe it's OK to just cap the length
before we pass it to the kernel, and then let async_complete_control
notice that the transferred length was less than requested, 
rather than failing the request completely?
