[PATCH] early_serial_setup array bounds check

From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>

early_serial_setup() doesn't validate the array index, so a caller could
corrupt memory after serial8250_ports[] by supplying a value of port->line
that's too large.

I haven't seen a failure related to this, but it seems fragile to rely on
callers to know how many ports the driver supports.
