It'd better be (err < sizeof(max_datagram_size)), and probably in the
call to usbnet_read_cmd() as well.

This is really a widespread problem on syzbot: a lot of USB devices
use similar code calling usb_control_msg() to read from the device and
not checking that the buffer is fully initialized.

Greg, do you know how often usb_control_msg() is expected to read less
than |size| bytes? Is it viable to make it return an error if this
happens?
Almost nobody is using this function correctly (i.e. checking that it
has read the whole buffer before accessing it).
