Subject: Input: gtco - fix crash on detecting device without endpoints

commit 162f98dea487206d9ab79fc12ed64700667a894d upstream.

The gtco driver expects at least one valid endpoint. If given malicious
descriptors that specify 0 for the number of endpoints, it will crash in
the probe function. Ensure there is at least one endpoint on the interface
before using it.

Also let's fix a minor coding style issue.

The full correct report of this issue can be found in the public
Red Hat Bugzilla:
