Subject: USB: serial: mos7840: fix control-message error handling

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>


[ Upstream commit cd8db057e93ddaacbec025b567490555d2bca280 ]

Make sure to detect short transfers when reading a device register.

The modem-status handling had sufficient error checks in place, but move
handling of short transfers into the register accessor function itself
for consistency.
