It's superfluous, but safer is safer, and this check is cheap.

Thanks, I'm going to queue it.
FWIW, below is the official patch.

Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Check out-of-bounds access by corrupted
 buffer descriptor

When a USB-audio device receives a maliciously adjusted or corrupted
buffer descriptor, the USB-audio driver may access an out-of-bounce
value at its parser.  This was detected by syzkaller, something like:

This patch adds the checks of out-of-bounce accesses at appropriate
places and bails out when it goes out of the given buffer.
