"KMSAN: uninit-value in rt2500usb_bbp_read" and "KMSAN: uninit-value in rt2500usb_probe_hw" should be duplicate crash reports

[慕冬亮 <mudongliangabcd@gmail.com>]

Dear kernel developers,

I found that on the syzbot dashboard, “KMSAN: uninit-value in
rt2500usb_bbp_read” [1] and "KMSAN: uninit-value in
rt2500usb_probe_hw" [2] should share the same root cause.

## Duplication

The reasons for the above statement:
1) The PoCs are exactly the same with each other;
2) The stack trace is almost the same except for the top 2 functions;

## Root Cause Analysis

After looking at the difference between the two stack traces, we found
they diverge at the function - rt2500usb_probe_hw.

static int rt2500usb_probe_hw(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev)
{
        ......
        // rt2500usb_validate_eeprom->rt2500usb_bbp_read->rt2500usb_regbusy_read->rt2500usb_register_read_lock
from KMSAN
        retval = rt2500usb_validate_eeprom(rt2x00dev);
        if (retval)
                return retval;
        // rt2500usb_init_eeprom-> rt2500usb_register_read from KMSAN
        retval = rt2500usb_init_eeprom(rt2x00dev);
        if (retval)
                return retval;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the implementation of rt2500usb_register_read and
rt2500usb_register_read_lock, we know that, in some situation, reg is
not initialized in the function invocation
(rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff/rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock), and
KMSAN reports uninit-value at its first memory access.

{
        __le16 reg;

        rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff(rt2x00dev, USB_MULTI_READ,

                                      &reg, sizeof(reg));
        return le16_to_cpu(reg);

{
        __le16 reg;

        rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock(rt2x00dev, USB_MULTI_READ,

Take rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock as an example, let me illustrate
the issue when the "reg" variable is uninitialized. No matter the CSR
cache is unavailable or the status is not right, the buffer or reg
will be not initialized.
And all those issues are probabilistic events. If they occur in
rt2500usb_register_read, KMSAN reports "uninit-value in
rt2500usb_probe_hw"; Otherwise, it reports "uninit-value in
rt2500usb_bbp_read".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
int rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock(struct rt2x00_dev *rt2x00dev,
                                   const u8 request, const u8 requesttype,
                                   const u16 offset, void *buffer,
                                   const u16 buffer_length, const int timeout)
{
        if (unlikely(!rt2x00dev->csr.cache || buffer_length > CSR_CACHE_SIZE)) {
                rt2x00_err(rt2x00dev, "CSR cache not available\n");
                return -ENOMEM;
        }

        if (requesttype == USB_VENDOR_REQUEST_OUT)
                memcpy(rt2x00dev->csr.cache, buffer, buffer_length);

        status = rt2x00usb_vendor_request(rt2x00dev, request, requesttype,
                                          offset, 0, rt2x00dev->csr.cache,
                                          buffer_length, timeout);

        if (!status && requesttype == USB_VENDOR_REQUEST_IN)
                memcpy(buffer, rt2x00dev->csr.cache, buffer_length);

        return status;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

## Patch

I propose to memset reg variable before invoking
rt2x00usb_vendor_req_buff_lock/rt2x00usb_vendor_request_buff.
