On the x3650 M2 and (presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a buffer full of garbage or zeroes. This causes the probe function to run in an infinite loop. To fix this, we add one last check--if the interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
