USB: serial: fix potential heap buffer overflow
Make sure to verify the number of ports requested by subdriver to avoid writing beyond the end of fixed-size array in interface data. The current usb-serial implementation is limited to eight ports per interface but failed to verify that the number of ports requested by a subdriver (which could have been determined from device descriptors) did not exceed this limit.
