#1388238 — [PATCH 3.2 046/115] USB: cdc-acm: more sanity checking

3.2.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com>

commit 8835ba4a39cf53f705417b3b3a94eb067673f2c9 upstream.

An attack has become available which pretends to be a quirky
device circumventing normal sanity checks and crashes the kernel
by an insufficient number of interfaces. This patch adds a check
to the code path for quirky devices.
