Input: aiptek - properly check endpoint type

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: aiptek - properly check endpoint type Syzbot reported warning in usb_submit_urb() which is caused by wrong endpoint type. There was a check for the number of endpoints, but not for the type of endpoint.
