fbdev: udlfb: Fix endpoint check

The syzbot fuzzer detected a problem in the udlfb driver, caused by an

endpoint not having the expected type:

usb 1-1: Read EDID byte 0 failed: -71

usb 1-1: Unable to get valid EDID from device/display

------------[ cut here ]------------

usb 1-1: BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1

The current approach for this issue failed to catch the problem

because it only checks for the existence of a bulk-OUT endpoint; it

doesn't check whether this endpoint is the one that the driver will

actually use.

We can fix the problem by instead checking that the endpoint used by

the driver does exist and is bulk-OUT.
