Alan Stern 846cbf98cb USB: EHCI: Improve port index sanitizing ...

Now that Kees Cook has added a definition for HCS_N_PORTS_MAX in
commit 72dd184323 ("USB: EHCI: Add register array bounds to HCS
ports"), the code in ehci_hub_control() which sanitizes port index
values can be improved a little.

The idea behind this change is that it prevents a possible
out-of-bounds pointer computation, which the compiler might be able to
detect since the port_status[] array now has a fixed length rather
than a variable length.
