[rt2x00-users] [PATCH] rt2x00usb: Zero USB padding before sending URB

[Jakub Kiciński]

When USB driver requires padding at the end of frame or URB it will report
this need by increasing return value of get_tx_data_len callback. Common
USB code uses that return value as desired URB length.

Ensure that appropriate part of skb's tailroom exists and is zeroed.
