cover USB: legousbtower: misc fixes

[ Resend with Juergen on CC ]

This series fixes a few issues found in the legousbtower driver. The potential deadlock issue was reported by syzbot, and the rest was found through inspection.

I have bunch of clean ups for this driver as well that I'll post once these are in Linus's tree.

PATCH RESEND 1/4 USB: legousbtower: fix slab info leak at probe

Make sure to check for short transfers when retrieving the version information at probe to avoid leaking uninitialised slab data when logging it.

PATCH RESEND 2/4 USB: legousbtower: fix deadlock on disconnect

In reply to Johan Hovold

Fix a potential deadlock if disconnect races with open.

Since commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB: prevent char device open/deregister race") core holds an rw-semaphore while open is called and when releasing the minor number during deregistration. This can lead to an ABBA deadlock if a driver takes a lock in open which it also holds during deregistration.

This effectively reverts commit 78663ecc344b ("USB: disconnect open race in legousbtower") which needlessly introduced this issue after a generic fix for this race had been added to core by commit d4ead16f50f9 ("USB:
prevent char device open/deregister race").

PATCH RESEND 3/4 USB: legousbtower: fix potential NULL-deref on disconnect

In reply to Johan Hovold

The driver is using its struct usb_device pointer as an inverted disconnected flag, but was setting it to NULL before making sure all completion handlers had run. This could lead to a NULL-pointer dereference in a number of dev_dbg and dev_err statements in the completion handlers which relies on said pointer.

Fix this by unconditionally stopping all I/O and preventing resubmissions by poisoning the interrupt URBs at disconnect and using a dedicated disconnected flag.

This also makes sure that all I/O has completed by the time the disconnect callback returns.

Fixes 9d974b2a06e3 ("USB: legousbtower.c: remove err() usage")
Fixes fef526cae700 ("USB: legousbtower: remove custom debug macro")
Fixes 4dae99638097 ("USB: legotower: remove custom debug macro and module parameter")

PATCH RESEND 4/4 USB: legousbtower: fix open after failed reset request

In reply to Johan Hovold

The driver would return with a nonzero open count in case the reset control request failed. This would prevent any further attempts to open the char dev until the device was disconnected.

Fix this by incrementing the open count only on successful open.
