[PATCH 3.18 06/49] staging: vt6656: use off stack for out buffer USB transfers.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 12ecd24ef93277e4e5feaf27b0b18f2d3828bc5e upstream.

Since 4.9 mandated USB buffers be heap allocated this causes the driver
to fail.

Since there is a wide range of buffer sizes use kmemdup to create
allocated buffer.
