USB: usbtmc: Fix direction for 0-length ioctl control messages
The syzbot fuzzer found a problem in the usbtmc driver: When a user submits an ioctl for a 0-length control transfer, the driver does not check that the direction is set to OUT:

To fix this, we must override the direction in the bRequestType field of the control request structure when the length is 0.
