media: dvb-usb: pctv452e: move snd/rcv len check before kmalloc

Browse source

syzbot reported a uninit-value in pctv452e_i2c_msg. [1]

When the snd_len or rcv_len check fails and jumps to failed, buf is
uninitialized, triggering the uninit-value issue.

Move the snd/rcv length check before kmalloc, and return -EINVAL directly
if the condition is met.
