Bluetooth: HIDP: validate numbered report payloads
When hidp_get_raw_report() waits for a numbered report,
hidp_process_data() compares the expected report number with skb->data[0].
A connected HIDP peer can reply with only a DATA transaction header,
leaving the skb empty after the header is removed.
KMSAN reports an uninitialized-value use in hidp_session_run(), with the
value originating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The transaction
header checks remove the empty-frame reports, but this report remains until
the payload check is added.
The comparison can also consume a peer-controlled byte beyond the declared
L2CAP PDU. A DATA | FEATURE response followed by an extra 0x01 byte made
the current code accept that byte as report ID 1 and complete
HIDIOCGFEATURE with a zero-byte result. With this change the malformed
response is rejected with -EIO, while a subsequent valid response still
succeeds.
Require a payload byte before comparing a numbered report ID. Unnumbered
reports continue to accept an empty payload.
