[PATCH] char: misc: Allow minors values up to MINORMASK

[D Scott Phillips <scott@os.amperecomputing.com>]

For per-cpu coresight_tmc devices, we can end up with hundreds of devices
on large systems that all want a dynamic minor number.  Switch the dynamic
minors allocator to an ida and add logic to allocate in the ranges [0..127]
and [256..MINORMASK]. Allocations start from 127 growing downwards and then
increasing from 256, so device numbering for the first 128 devices should
be the same as before.
