HID: mcp2221: clear rxbuf after I2C/SMBus transfer completes

Browse source

mcp_i2c_smbus_read() stores the caller-supplied buffer pointer in
mcp->rxbuf for the duration of a transfer but never clears it when the
transfer finishes or times out. Once the caller frees or reuses the
buffer, mcp->rxbuf becomes a dangling pointer. A delayed or spurious
MCP2221_I2C_GET_DATA report can then drive mcp2221_raw_event() to
memcpy device data into the freed memory, causing a write
use-after-free.

Route all return paths through a single exit point that clears
mcp->rxbuf and mcp->rxbuf_size, so that the existing !mcp->rxbuf guard
in the raw_event handler can reject any report arriving after the
transfer has ended.
