media: dvb-usb-v2: ce6230: fix null-ptr-deref in ce6230_i2c_master_xfer()
[ Upstream commit dff919090155fb22679869e8469168f270dcd97f ]
In ce6230_i2c_master_xfer, msg is controlled by user. When msg[i].buf
is null and msg[i].len is zero, former checks on msg[i].buf would be
passed. Malicious data finally reach ce6230_i2c_master_xfer. If accessing
msg[i].buf[0] without sanity check, null ptr deref would happen. We add
check on msg[i].len to prevent crash.
