As this patch is upstream and has been cc'ed to stable too, I would ACK to
cherry-pick the upstream patch (attached for simplicity)

Patch

From 7152b592593b9d48b33f8997b1dfd6df9143f7ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2010 15:04:03 -0500
Subject: [PATCH] USB: fix usbfs regression

This patch (as1352) fixes a bug in the way isochronous input data is
returned to userspace for usbfs transfers.  The entire buffer must be
copied, not just the first actual_length bytes, because the individual
packets will be discontiguous if any of them are short.
