[135/146] brd: limit max_part module param to DISK_MAX_PARTS

commit 315980c8688c4b06713c1a5fe9d64cdf8ab57a72 upstream.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a brd device can have. However if a user specifies very large
value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and
can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device
nodes in some cases).

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=100000
