USB transfer buffers are typically mapped for DMA and must not be allocated on the stack or transfers will fail.
Allocate proper transfer buffers in the various command helpers and return an error on short transfers instead of acting on random stack data.
Note that this also fixes a stack info leak on systems where DMA is not used as 32 bytes are always sent to the device regardless of how short the command is.

I suggest doing all the allocations up front so it doesn't leave an unread reply message in the unlikely event that the tbuf allocation fails. (It could even allocate a single buffer for both the command and the reply since they are not needed at the same time.)
These small allocations will currently never fail, but if they ever were to, there are other allocations done in the I/O path which would have the same effect if they failed. And if this ever happens, you certainly have bigger problems than worrying about the state of this device. :)
That said, I'll see if I can reuse a single buffer without things getting too messy.
