Subject: [PATCH] fib_trie: potential out of bounds access in trie_show_stats()

With the <= max condition in the for loop, it will be always go 1
element further than needed. If the condition for the while loop is
never met, then max is MAX_STAT_DEPTH, and for loop will walk off the
end of nodesizes[].
