[PATCH] hw/usb/dev-uas: Don't abort if guest provided an undersized buffer for status

From: Thomas Huth <[email protected]>

QEMU currently aborts if the guest provides an undersized buffer
for the status packet (8 bytes):

 hw/usb/core.c:623: usb_packet_copy:
  Assertion `p->actual_length + bytes <= iov->size' failed.

If we hit this situation, log a guest error and continue by simply
only providing the bytes that the guest asked for.
(Note: This is e.g. similar to the UAS_PIPE_ID_COMMAND case that
also clamps the length with: length = MIN(sizeof(iu), p->iov.size))
