Subject: [PATCH -next v4 1/4] nbd: fix max value for 'first_minor'

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

commit b1a811633f73 ("block: nbd: add sanity check for first_minor")
checks that 'first_minor' should not be greater than 0xff, which is
wrong. Whitout the commit, the details that when user pass 0x100000,
it ends up create sysfs dir "/sys/block/43:0" are as follows:

nbd_dev_add
 disk->first_minor = index << part_shift
  -> default part_shift is 5, first_minor is 0x2000000
  device_add_disk
   ddev->devt = MKDEV(disk->major, disk->first_minor)
    -> (0x2b << 20) | (0x2000000) = 0x2b00000
   device_add
    device_create_sys_dev_entry
	 format_dev_t
	  sprintf(buffer, "%u:%u", MAJOR(dev), MINOR(dev));
	   -> got 43:0
	  sysfs_create_link -> /sys/block/43:0

By the way, with the wrong fix, when part_shift is the default value,
only 8 ndb devices can be created since 8 << 5 is greater than 0xff.

Since the max bits for 'first_minor' should be the same as what
MKDEV() does, which is 20. Change the upper bound of 'first_minor'
from 0xff to 0xfffff.
