[PATCH] Fix /sys/<dev>/<partition>/dev format: %04x -> %u:%u

[Christophe Saout]

Hi!

(I already sent a patch to Andrew, but someone just told me that the
vanilla test3 is also affected)

In 2.6.0-test3 a part of the 64 bit kdev_t patch got merged, it changes the
format of /sys/block/<dev>/dev from %02x%02x to %u:%u. The partition could
must also be changed.

e.g. cat /sys/block/hda/hda5/dev should return 3:5 instead of 0305

This small patch adds this:
