[PATCH 3/3] USB: serial: increase the number of devices we support

[Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

We had the limit of 255 USB to serial devices on one system for almost
15 years, with no complaints.  But now it's time to move on from these
tiny "baby" systems, and bump the number up to 3000, which should last
us a few more years.
