thunderbolt: Fix KASAN reported stack out-of-bounds read in tb_retimer_scan()

KASAN reported following issue:

 BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in tb_retimer_scan+0xffe/0x1550 [thunderbolt]
 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810111fc1c by task kworker/u56:0/11
 CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 11 Comm: kworker/u56:0 Tainted: G     U             6.11.0+ #1387

This happens because the loop variable still gets incremented by one so
max becomes 3 instead of 2, and this makes the second loop read past the
the array declared on the stack.

Fix this by assigning to max directly in the loop body.
