Subject: [PATCH 1/2] block: partitions: mac: obey the state->limit constraint

It isn't necessary to read the information of partitions whose No.
is equal and more than state->limit since only maximum state->limit
partitions will be added inside rescan_partitions().

That is also what other kind of partitions are doing.
