Key 5 automatically pressed on some Logitech wireless keyboards

I've experienced this problem with my Logitech wireless keyboard (as if someone
is holding down the '5' key until another key is pressed) on and off for a
release or two.  It comes and goes "randomly" with each new binary kernel
release and there's no particular reproduction scenario -- it just happens
sometimes.

This upstream cherry pick appears to fix it, per me and other affected LP
testers.  The "comes-and-goes" nature of the problem also matches the nature
of the fix (out of bounds array access).

The problem has been reported on at least V, W, and X; patch cherry-picks
everywhere back through P.
