net: usb: rtl8150: enable basic endpoint checking

Syzkaller reports [1] encountering a common issue of utilizing a wrong

usb endpoint type during URB submitting stage. This, in turn, triggers

a warning shown below.

For now, enable simple endpoint checking (specifically, bulk and

interrupt eps, testing control one is not essential) to mitigate

the issue with a view to do other related cosmetic changes later,

if they are necessary.

[1] Syzkaller report:

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