When read data from g_printer, we see a Segmentation fault. eg:

Code: f5d1f07c e8b100f0 e1a03c2e e2522020 (e8b15300) ---[ end trace
97e2618e250e3377 ]--- Segmentation fault

The root cause is the dev->rx_buffers list has been broken.
When we call printer_read(), the following call tree is triggered:

printer_read()
|
+---setup_rx_reqs(req)
| |
| +---usb_ep_queue(req)
| | |
| | +---...
| | |
| | +---rx_complete(req).
| |
| +---add the req to dev->rx_reqs_active
|
+---while(!list_empty(&dev->rx_buffers)))

The route happens when we don't use DMA or fail to start DMA in USB
driver. We can see: in the case, in rx_complete() it will add the req
to dev->rx_buffers. meanwhile we see that we will also add the req to
dev->rx_reqs_active after usb_ep_queue() return, so this adding will
break the dev->rx_buffers out.

After, when we call list_empty() to check dev->rx_buffers in while(),
due to can't check correctly dev->rx_buffers, so the Segmentation fault
occurs when copy_to_user() is called.
