It is because that skb->len requires at least sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt)
in qrtr_tx_resume(). And skb->len equals to size in qrtr_endpoint_post().
But size is less than sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt) when qrtr_cb->type
equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in qrtr_endpoint_post() under the syzbot
scenario. This triggers the uninit variable access bug.
Add size check when qrtr_cb->type equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in
qrtr_endpoint_post() to fix the bug.
