    USB: usbtmc: Fix direction for 0-length ioctl control messages

    The syzbot fuzzer found a problem in the usbtmc driver: When a user
    submits an ioctl for a 0-length control transfer, the driver does not
    check that the direction is set to OUT:

    To fix this, we must override the direction in the bRequestType field
    of the control request structure when the length is 0.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.
