Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: Add sanity checks to FE parser

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit d937cd6790a2bef2d07b500487646bd794c039bb upstream.

When the usb-audio descriptor contains the malformed feature unit description with a too short length, the driver may access out-of-bounds. Add a sanity check of the header size at the beginning of parse_audio_feature_unit().
