Subject: [PATCH] docs: nbd: update default value for ndb max_part to '16'

Syncronize the documentation with actual code state of the default
value for nbd max_part.

Commit 7a8362a0b5919 ("nbd: change the default nbd partitions")
changed the default value of max_part from '0' to '16'. The admin
guide still stated '0' until now.
