[PATCH] USB: serial: mxuport: fix memory corruption with small endpoint

[Johan Hovold]

Make sure that the bulk-out endpoint max packet size is at least eight
bytes to avoid user-controlled slab corruption should a malicious device
report a smaller size.

Fixes: ee467a1f2066 ("USB: serial: add Moxa UPORT 12XX/14XX/16XX driver")
