The migration restore path reads nr_active_ports from the incoming
stream and passes it directly to fetch_active_ports_list(), which
uses it to size a heap allocation. A crafted migration stream can set
this field to a very large value, causing QEMU to attempt a
multi-gigabyte allocation and abort.

Fix this by checking nr_active_ports against the configured
max_virtserial_ports before calling fetch_active_ports_list().
