4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org>

commit 9fef37d7cf170522fb354d6d0ea6de09b9b16678 upstream.

The current implementation failed to detect short transfers, something
which could lead to bits of the uninitialised heap transfer buffer
leaking to user space.

Fixes: 149fc791a452 ("USB: ark3116: Setup some basic infrastructure for new ark3116 driver.")
Fixes: f4c1e8d597d1 ("USB: ark3116: Make existing functions 16450-aware and add close and release functions.")
