The pwc driver used to:
1. kmalloc a buffer
2. memcpy data to send over usb there
3. do the usb_control_msg call (which does not work with data on the stack)
4. free the buffer
For every usb command send. This patch changes the code to instead malloc
a buffer for this purpose once and use it everywhere.
