[Impact]
An incorrect read request flaw was found in the Infrared Transceiver USB
driver in the Linux kernel. This issue occurs when a user attaches a
malicious USB device. A local user could use this flaw to starve the
resources, causing denial of service or potentially crashing the system.

[Backport]
Clean cherry-pick.

[Test]
Compiled.

[Regression potential]
We expect minimal regression, since we're only updating the usb_control_msg()
calls with usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send(). Also it would
impact just users of the Windows Media Center Edition eHome Infrared
Transceiver.
