Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: typec: tcpm: fix warning when handle discover_identity message

Since both source and sink device can send discover_identity message in
PD3, kernel may dump below warning:

Below sequences may trigger this warning:

tcpm_send_discover_work(work)
tcpm_send_vdm(port, USB_SID_PD, CMD_DISCOVER_IDENT, NULL, 0);
tcpm_queue_vdm(port, header, data, count);
port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_READY;

vdm_state_machine_work(work);
<-- received discover_identity from partner
vdm_run_state_machine(port);
port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_SEND_MESSAGE;
mod_vdm_delayed_work(port, x);

tcpm_pd_rx_handler(work);
tcpm_pd_data_request(port, msg);
tcpm_handle_vdm_request(port, msg->payload, cnt);
tcpm_queue_vdm(port, response[0], &response[1], rlen - 1);
--> WARN_ON(port->vdm_state > VDM_STATE_DONE);

For this case, the state machine could still send out discover
identity message later if we skip current discover_identity message.
So we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending
discover_identity message without warning in this case. Then, a delayed
send_discover work will send discover_identity message again.
