I tested your patch, it works for the simple cases where bits are set
below the S16_MAX limit, example:

# modprobe scsi-debug dev_size_mb=256 lbpu=1 lbpws10=1
# vgcreate tsvg /dev/sdb
# cat /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map
0-15   <--- OK!

# lvcreate -V200m -l99%FREE -T tsvg/pool -n lv1 --discards ignore

# cat /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/map
0-31,2048-2055    <---- NO! It should be "0-31,2048-2055,501760-501871"!

I think it's misleading.
Can I suggest as a temporary solution to restore the old
bitmap_scnlistprintf() function?
