usb: xhci: limit number of ports to 127

The xHCI driver allocates various port-related structures based on the
maximum number of ports reported by the controller. The Number of Ports
(MaxPorts) field occupies bits 31:24 of the HCSPARAMS1 register and can
represent values up to 255. However, the 'HCS_MAX_PORTS()' macro currently
reads bits 30:24, effectively limiting the maximum to 127.

Fixing the macro increases the reported port limit to 255, which in turn
increases memory usage regardless of how many ports are actually used.

To maintain compatibility and control memory consumption, set
'xhci->max_ports' to the minimum of the value read from 'HCS_MAX_PORTS()'
and 127 (MAX_HC_PORTS). This preserves the existing limit while making
the restriction explicit and easier to adjust in the future.

Summary:
 * Port allocations are now limited to 127.
 * HC max ports macro now correctly reads the MaxPorts value.
 * Macro 'MAX_HC_PORTS' can be modified to set the port limit.
