Subject: [PATCH v5 10/21] pmem: Dynamically allocate partition numbers

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>

Dynamically allocate minor numbers for partitions instead of statically
preallocating them.

It gives us a simpler minors scheme, and makes it so we get a consistent
major when moving past partition 16.  Here's what happens with the
current code:

 pmem0      249:0    0 63.5G  0 rom
 ├─pmem0p1  249:1    0    1G  0 part
 ├─pmem0p2  249:2    0    1G  0 part
 ├─pmem0p3  249:3    0    1G  0 part
 ├─pmem0p4  249:4    0    1G  0 part

 ├─pmem0p16 259:0    0    1G  0 part
 ├─pmem0p17 259:1    0    1G  0 part
 └─pmem0p18 259:2    0    1G  0 part
