Bug#655387: [PATCH net v2] cdc_ether: Ignore bogus union descriptor for RNDIS devices
Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces. The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.

v2: adding a test to verify that the resulting control interface is the
probed interface, as suggested by Oliver Neukum
The same comments as for v1 regarding testing applies. This is build
tested only. Should go through some functional testing before being
applied.
