CVE-2017-8924

Add missing sanity check to the bulk-in completion handler to avoid an
integer underflow that can be triggered by a malicious device.

This avoids leaking 128 kB of memory content from after the URB transfer
buffer to user space.

Fixes: 8c209e6782ca ("USB: make actual_length in struct urb field u32")
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Cc: stable <stable at vger.kernel.org>	# 2.6.30

(cherry picked from commit 654b404f2a222f918af9b0cd18ad469d0c941a8e)
