Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: mct_u232: fix modem-status error handling

commit 36356a669eddb32917fc4b5c2b9b8bf80ede69de upstream.

Make sure to detect short control-message transfers so that errors are
logged when reading the modem status at open.

Note that while this also avoids initialising the modem status using
uninitialised heap data, these bits could not leak to user space as they
are currently not used.
