Hm, what is the desc->bLength value in the error case?

Basically the buffer boundary is already checked against bLength in
snd_usb_find_desc() which is called from obtaining the raw_desc in the
caller of this function (parse_audio_unit()).

So, if any, we need to check bLength for the possible overflow like
below.
