As Dmitry mentioned, you should put the Reported-by: line from the
original syzbot bug report (see
<https://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=153601206710985&w=2>) in the patch.

It would be more elegant to do the rp->mmap_active test before calling
kcalloc and mon_alloc_buf.  But of course that's a pretty minor thing.

What's the reason for this change?

And this one?  This disagrees with the usual kernel style.
