Subject: [PATCH] - silence UBSAN complaint in ehci-hcd.

UBSAN throws a complaint:

[    2.418579] UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in drivers/usb/host/ehci-hub.c:877:47
[    2.418582] index -1 is out of range for type 'u32 [1]'

though it's only on the hostpc[] part, not  on the port_status[] on the
previous line which has the same exact index calculation.  The root cause is
that the first declaration is port_status[0], which uses a GCC extension and
UBSAN is smart enough to realize the programmer is doing something
intentionally odd.

However, the problematic declaration is hostpc[1], which doesn't have
the "I know what I'm doing" semantics of [0].  Change the declaration to match.
