4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Mikulas Patocka mpatocka@redhat.com
commit 99ec9e77511dea55d81729fc80b6c63a61bfa8e0 upstream.
The displaylink hardware has such a peculiarity that it doesn't render a command until next command is received. This produces occasional corruption, such as when setting 22x11 font on the console, only the first line of the cursor will be blinking if the cursor is located at some specific columns.
When we end up with a repeating pixel, the driver has a bug that it leaves one uninitialized byte after the command (and this byte is enough to flush the command and render it - thus it fixes the screen corruption), however whe we end up with a non-repeating pixel, there is no byte appended and this results in temporary screen corruption.
This patch fixes the screen corruption by always appending a byte 0xAF at the end of URB. It also removes the uninitialized byte.
