counters_set_description() stores the highest counter index supplied by
the user plus one in cntrs_max_index. Both are u32, so an index of
U32_MAX wraps cntrs_max_index to zero, and the entries after it can only
raise it to their own index plus one.
mlx5_ib_read_counters() uses cntrs_max_index to check that every bound
index fits in the output buffer before it runs
read_attr->counters_buff[desc[i].index] += ...
With the wrapped value the check passes whatever the buffer size is, and
the entry with index U32_MAX is added to memory almost 32 GiB past the
start of the buffer.
Reject an index of U32_MAX in counters_set_description(), so that
cntrs_max_index is larger than every bound index.
