commit ae8709b296 upstream.
The USBDEVFS_CONTROL and USBDEVFS_BULK ioctls invoke
usb_start_wait_urb(), which contains an uninterruptible wait with a
user-specified timeout value. If timeout value is very large and the
device being accessed does not respond in a reasonable amount of time,
the kernel will complain about "Task X blocked for more than N
seconds", as found in testing by syzbot:
INFO: task syz-executor.0:8700 blocked for more than 143 seconds.
Not tainted 5.14.0-rc7-syzkaller #0
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

To fix this problem, this patch replaces usbfs's calls to
usb_control_msg() and usb_bulk_msg() with special-purpose code that
does essentially the same thing (as recommended in the comment for
usb_start_wait_urb()), except that it always uses a killable wait and
it uses GFP_KERNEL rather than GFP_NOIO.
