Currently, due to the sequential use of min_t() and clamp_t() macros, in cdc_ncm_check_tx_max(), if dwNtbOutMaxSize is not set, the logic sets tx_max to 0. This is then used to allocate the data area of the SKB requested later in cdc_ncm_fill_tx_frame().
This does not cause an issue presently because when memory is allocated during initialisation phase of SKB creation, more memory (512b) is allocated than is required for the SKB headers alone (320b), leaving some space (512b - 320b = 192b) for CDC data (172b).
However, if more elements (for example 3 x u64 = [24b]) were added to one of the SKB header structs, say 'struct skb_shared_info', increasing its original size (320b [320b aligned]) to something larger (344b [384b aligned]), then suddenly the CDC data (172b) no longer fits in the spare SKB data area (512b - 384b = 128b).
Consequently the SKB bounds checking semantics fails and panics:

By overriding the max value with the default CDC_NCM_NTB_MAX_SIZE_TX when not offered through the system provided params, we ensure enough data space is allocated to handle the CDC data, meaning no crash will occur.
