ALSA: usb-audio: Clamp frame size in implicit-feedback mode
snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() scales received sync packet sizes by the sender's
stride and stores the result directly in out_packet->packet_size[i]. If a
connected USB device sends an oversized sync packet, this frame count can
exceed ep->maxframesize.
The un-clamped frame count then propagates to the playback endpoint queue,
potentially driving packet transfers beyond the endpoint's hardware frame
limits.
Cap the calculated frame count against ep->maxframesize in
snd_usb_handle_sync_urb() to prevent oversized packets from entering the
playback queue.
