[PATCH] usbip: host: ignore number_of_packets for non-isoc URBs
From: zjzhao

From: zjzhao-eda <zjzhao@xxxxxxxxx>
number_of_packets is only meaningful for isochronous URBs. The USB/IP
stub currently copies the value from the CMD_SUBMIT PDU into the local
URB verbatim for all endpoint types.
Some clients (e.g. usbip-win) leave number_of_packets uninitialized for
non-isoc URBs, so a garbage/huge value reaches usb_submit_urb(). Host
controllers that size per-URB allocations by this field (e.g. dwc2's
dwc2_hcd_urb_alloc(), which always sizes the iso descriptor array by
urb->number_of_packets) then attempt a multi-gigabyte allocation that
fails with -ENOMEM, making usbip-host reset the device in an endless
loop (older dwc_otg crashes outright instead).
Sanitize number_of_packets to 0 for non-isochronous endpoints in the
stub. This is a strict no-op for well-behaved clients (Linux vhci
already sends 0 for non-isoc URBs) and fixes the dwc2/dwc_otg failures.
