USB: core: prevent malicious bNumInterfaces overflow
A malicious USB device with crafted descriptors can cause the kernel to access unallocated memory by setting the bNumInterfaces value too high in a configuration descriptor. Although the value is adjusted during parsing, this adjustment is skipped in one of the error return paths. This patch prevents the problem by setting bNumInterfaces to 0 initially. The existing code already sets it to the proper value after parsing is complete.
