[PATCH] USB: EHCI: fix conflation of buf == 0 with len == 0

When the ehci-hcd driver prepares a control URB, it tests for a
zero-length data stage by looking at the transfer_dma value instead of
the transfer_buffer_length.  (In fact it does this even for non-control
URBs, which is an additional aspect of the same bug.)

However, under certain circumstances it's possible for transfer_dma to
be 0 while transfer_buffer_length is non-zero.  This can happen when a
freshly allocated page (mapped to address 0 and marked Copy-On-Write,
but never written to) is used as the source buffer for an OUT transfer.
This patch (as598) fixes the problem.
