PATCH 1/1 Bluetooth: l2cap: Fix MPS check in l2cap_ecred_reconf_req

The L2CAP Enhanced Credit Based Flow Control specification (Core Spec 5.4, Vol 3, Part A, Section 7.11) states that if more than one channel is being reconfigured, the MPS shall not be decreased. The current code uses && i (loop index) to approximate "more than one channel", but this incorrectly allows MPS decrease for the first channel (i==0) even when multiple channels are being reconfigured, and incorrectly blocks MPS decrease for subsequent channels even when only that single channel is being reconfigured via index > 0.

Replace && i with && num_scid > 1 which correctly checks whether the reconfiguration request covers more than one channel, matching the specification intent.

Still seem to be wrong, this should detect decreases but instead it still flag as an error if reconfiguration has req->mps == mps:
