usb: usblp: fix heap leak in IEEE 1284 device ID via short response

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: usblp: fix heap leak in IEEE 1284 device ID via short response

usblp_ctrl_msg() collapses the usb_control_msg() return value to
0/-errno, discarding the actual number of bytes transferred.  A broken
printer can complete the GET_DEVICE_ID control transfer short and the
driver has no way to know.

usblp_cache_device_id_string() reads the 2-byte big-endian length prefix
from the response and trusts it (clamped only to the buffer bounds).
The buffer is kmalloc(1024) at probe time. A device that sends exactly
two bytes (e.g. 0x03 0xFF, claiming a 1023-byte ID) leaves
device_id_string[2..1022] holding stale kmalloc heap.

That stale data is then exposed:
  - via the ieee1284_id sysfs attribute (sprintf("%s", buf+2), truncated
    at the first NUL in the stale heap), and
  - via the IOCNR_GET_DEVICE_ID ioctl, which copy_to_user()s the full
    claimed length regardless of NULs, up to 1021 bytes of uninitialized
    heap, with the leak size chosen by the device.

Fix this up by just zapping the buffer with zeros before each request
sent to the device.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
