Subject: [PATCH] OSS: keep index within bounds of midi_devs[]

When the {orig,midi}_dev equals num_midis, that's one too
large already.

In MIDIbuf_open() sound/oss/midibuf.c:166

        if (num_midis > MAX_MIDI_DEV)
        {
                printk(KERN_ERR "midi: Too many midi interfaces\n");
                num_midis = MAX_MIDI_DEV;
        }

num_midis is at most MAX_MIDI_DEV.

`git grep -n MAX_MIDI_DEV' and note that when the index equals
num_midis this causes reads/writes outside array bounds for
midi_devs, midi2synth, dev_conf and others (below check in patch).
