-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: NeilBrown Partitions are not limited to live within a device. So we should range check after partition mapping. Note that 'maxsector' was being used for two different things. I have split off the second usage into 'old_sector' so that maxsector can be still be used for it's primary usage later in the function.
