ibmaem: prevent infinite probing loop on x3650 M2 systems

On older machines, probing for a nonexistent AEM interface returned an
IPMI error; when we saw this, we'd stop probing.  On the x3650 M2 and
(presumably) later, we are returned a value indicating success and a
buffer full of garbage or zeroes.  This causes the probe function to run
in an infinite loop.  To fix this, we add one last check--if the
interface number we're looking for is higher than the number of
interfaces that AEM claims to have, stop probing.
