Subject: ALSA: line6: Add a sanity check for invalid EPs

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit 2a4340c57717162c6bf07a0860d05711d4de994b upstream.

As syzkaller spotted, currently line6 drivers submit a URB with the fixed EP without checking whether it's actually available, which may result in a kernel warning like:
usb 1-1: BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1

This patch adds a sanity check of validity of EPs at the device initialization phase for avoiding the call with an invalid EP.
