Melbin K MathewandGreg Kroah-Hartman c2e819be6a usb: gadget: printer: fix infinite loop in printer_read()
printer_read() uses the same variable for the requested copy size and
the number of bytes actually copied to user space. copy_to_user()
returns the number of bytes not copied, so when it fails to copy
anything, the computed copied length becomes zero.

In that case len, buf, current_rx_bytes and current_rx_buf are left
unchanged. If RX data is available and the user buffer remains
unwritable, the read loop can repeat indefinitely.

Track the copied length separately and return -EFAULT, or the number of
bytes already copied, if an iteration makes no progress.

Fixes: b185f01a9a ("usb: gadget: printer: factor out f_printer")
