USB: usbmon: fix read(2)



There's a bug in the usbmon binary reader: When using read() to fetch
the packets and a packet's data is partially read, the next read call
will once again return up to len_cap bytes of data. The b_read counter
is not regarded when determining the remaining chunk size.

So, when dumping USB data with "cat /dev/usbmon0 > usbmon.trace" while
reading from a USB storage device and analyzing the dump file
afterwards it will get out of sync after a couple of packets.
