USB: usb_get_string should check the descriptor type
This patch (as1218) fixes a problem with a radio-control joystick used in the "walkera 4#3" helicopter. This device responds to the initial Get-String-Descriptor request for string 0 (which is really the list of supported languages) by sending its config descriptor! The usb_get_string() routine needs to check whether it got the right type of descriptor. Oddly enough, this sort of check is already present in usb_get_descriptor(). The patch changes the error code from -EPROTO to -ENODATA, because -EPROTO shows up in so many other contexts to indicate a hardware failure rather than a firmware error.
