Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: ath9k: don't allow to overwrite ENDPOINT0 attributes

A bad USB device is able to construct a service connection response
message with target endpoint being ENDPOINT0 which is reserved for
HTC_CTRL_RSVD_SVC and should not be modified to be used for any other
services.

Reject such service connection responses.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: fb9987d0f748 ("ath9k_htc: Support for AR9271 chipset.")

v2: per Toke's remark, use ENDPOINT0 macro and give a comment explaining
why it should be checked.
