[PATCH 11/13] usb: hub: limit the number of ports to USB_MAXCHILDREN

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

usb_hub_configure() takes the port count straight from the hub
descriptor:

	dev->maxchild = descriptor->bNbrPorts;

children[] in struct usb_device and overcurrent_count[] in struct
usb_hub_device are both sized USB_MAXCHILDREN though, which is 8. A hub that reports
more ports than that - bNbrPorts is a byte, so up to 255 - makes
usb_hub_configure_ports() queue a scan for every one of them, and
usb_scan_port() and usb_hub_port_connect_change() then index both arrays
out of bounds.

The port count is device supplied, so cap it.
