Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Bail out if bus number overflows during scan

In function pci_scan_bridge_extend(), if the variable next_busnr gets to
256, "child = pci_find_bus()" will return bus 0 (root bus). Consequently,
we have a circular PCI topology. The scan will then go in circle until the
kernel crashes due to stack overflow.

This can be reproduced with:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc-q35-2.10 \
    -kernel bzImage \
    -m 2048 -smp 1 -enable-kvm \
    -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda debug" \
    -nographic \
    -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=1,id=rp1,bus-reserve=253 \
    -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=2,id=rp2,bus-reserve=0 \
    -device pcie-root-port,bus=pcie.0,slot=3,id=rp3,bus-reserve=0

Check if next_busnr "overflow" and bail out if this is the case.

This bug exists since the beginning of git history. So I didn't bother
tracing beyond git to see which patch introduced this.
