Subject: USB: serial: spcp8x5: fix modem-status handling

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 5ed8d41023751bdd3546f2fe4118304357efe8d2 upstream.

Make sure to detect short control transfers and return zero on success when retrieving the modem status.

This fixes the TIOCMGET implementation which since e1ed212d8593 ("USB:
spcp8x5: add proper modem-status support") has returned TIOCM_LE on successful retrieval, and avoids leaking bits from the stack on short transfers.

This also fixes the carrier-detect implementation which since the above mentioned commit unconditionally has returned true.
