Subject: CVE-2025-21708: net: usb: rtl8150: enable basic endpoint checking

Description
===========

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

net: usb: rtl8150: enable basic endpoint checking

Syzkaller reports [1] encountering a common issue of utilizing a wrong
usb endpoint type during URB submitting stage. This, in turn, triggers
a warning shown below.

For now, enable simple endpoint checking (specifically, bulk and
interrupt eps, testing control one is not essential) to mitigate
the issue with a view to do other related cosmetic changes later,
if they are necessary.

[1] Syzkaller report:
usb 1-1: BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
