Do not decrement resp_count if it's already 0. We set resp_count to 0 when the device is closed. The next open and read will try to clear the WDM_READ flag if there was leftover data in the read buffer. This fix is necessary to prevent resubmitting the read URB in a tight loop because resp_count becomes negative. The bug can easily be triggered from userspace by not reading all data in the read buffer, and then closing and reopening the chardev.
