Syzbot reported an out-of-bounds read in sysfs.c:read_descriptors():

As analyzed by Khazhy Kumykov, the cause of this bug is a race between
read_descriptors() and hub_port_init(): The first routine uses a field
in udev->descriptor, not expecting it to change, while the second
overwrites it.

Prior to commit 45bf39f8df7f ("USB: core: Don't hold device lock while
reading the "descriptors" sysfs file") this race couldn't occur,
because the routines were mutually exclusive thanks to the device
locking.  Removing that locking from read_descriptors() exposed it to
the race.

The best way to fix the bug is to keep hub_port_init() from changing
udev->descriptor once udev has been initialized and registered.
Drivers expect the descriptors stored in the kernel to be immutable;
we should not undermine this expectation.  In fact, this change should
have been made long ago.

So now hub_port_init() will take an additional argument, specifying a
buffer in which to store the device descriptor it reads.  (If udev has
not yet been initialized, the buffer pointer will be NULL and then
hub_port_init() will store the device descriptor in udev as before.)
This eliminates the data race responsible for the out-of-bounds read.

The changes to hub_port_init() appear more extensive than they really
are, because of indentation changes resulting from an attempt to avoid
writing to other parts of the usb_device structure after it has been
initialized.  Similar changes should be made to the code that reads
the BOS descriptor, but that can be handled in a separate patch later
on.  This patch is sufficient to fix the bug found by syzbot.
