Subject: [PATCH] aoe: harmless underflow in minor_get_static()

The "aoemin" comes from revalidate() in drivers/block/aoe/aoechr.c.  It
can be negative.  We cap the upper bound but not the lower bound so
that's an underflow bug.  But it doesn't matter because we check "n"
against N_DEVS so it all works out fine in the end.

Anyway, let's silence the static checker warning.
