When usbfs receives a ctrl-request from userspace it calls check_ctrlrecip, which for a request with USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT tries to map this to an interface to see if this interface is claimed, except for ctrl-requests with a type of USB_TYPE_VENDOR. When trying to use this device: http://www.akaipro.com/eiepro redirected to a Windows vm running on qemu on top of Linux. The windows driver makes a ctrl-req with USB_TYPE_CLASS and USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT with index 0, and the mapping of the endpoint (0) to the interface fails since ep 0 is the ctrl endpoint and thus never is part of an interface. This patch fixes this ctrl-req failing by skipping the checkintf call for USB_RECIP_ENDPOINT ctrl-reqs on the ctrl endpoint.
