Check upon `num_rsp` is insufficient. A malformed event packet with a
large `num_rsp` number makes hci_extended_inquiry_result_evt() go out
of bounds. Fix it.

This patch fixes the following syzbot bug:

Changes in v2:
    - Use `skb->len` instead of `skb->truesize` as the length limit.
    - Leave `num_rsp` as of type `int`.
