[PATCH] kdev_t: mask mi with MINORMASK in MKDEV macro

[Zhiqiang Liu]

In MKDEV macro, if mi is larger than MINORMASK, the major will be
affected by mi. For example, set dev = MKDEV(2, (1U << MINORBITS)),
then MAJOR(dev) will be equal to 3, incorrectly.

Here, we mask mi with MINORMASK in MKDEV macro.
