Edward Adam Davis 1a31cb2782 media: dvb-usb: pctv452e: move snd/rcv len check before kmalloc
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
