```text
dev->ci_range.vpi_bits and vci_bits can legitimately be ATM_CI_MAX (-1),
a sentinel meaning "no range configured, use maximum" (see
include/uapi/linux/atmdev.h). Some drivers, such as usbatm_atm_init()
in drivers/usb/atm/usbatm.c, set this sentinel and never resolve it to
an actual bit width.

__vcc_connect() uses these fields directly as a shift amount without
checking for the sentinel, so binding a PVC socket on such a device
triggers a negative shift:

  UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/atm/common.c:381:10
  shift exponent -1 is negative

Skip the range check when ci_range.vpi_bits/vci_bits is still
ATM_CI_MAX, since that value means "unrestricted".
