usb-storage: alauda: Fix uninit-value in alauda_check_media()

Syzbot got KMSAN to complain about access to an uninitialized value in
the alauda subdriver of usb-storage:

BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in alauda_transport+0x462/0x57f0
drivers/usb/storage/alauda.c:1137

alauda_check_media+0x344/0x3310 drivers/usb/storage/alauda.c:460

The problem is that alauda_check_media() doesn't verify that its USB
transfer succeeded before trying to use the received data. What
should happen if the transfer fails isn't entirely clear, but a
reasonably conservative approach is to pretend that no media is
present.

A similar problem exists in a usb_stor_dbg() call in
alauda_get_media_status(). In this case, when an error occurs the
call is redundant, because usb_stor_ctrl_transfer() already will print
a debugging message.

Finally, unrelated to the uninitialized memory access, is the fact
that alauda_check_media() performs DMA to a buffer on the stack.
Fortunately usb-storage provides a general purpose DMA-able buffer for
uses like this. We'll use it instead.
