[PATCH v5 10/21] pmem: Dynamically allocate partition numbers

[Dan Williams]

From: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dynamically allocate minor numbers for partitions instead of statically
preallocating them.

It gives us a simpler minors scheme, and makes it so we get a consistent
major when moving past partition 16.  Here's what happens with the
current code:

 pmem0      249:0    0 63.5G  0 rom
 ââpmem0p1  249:1    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p2  249:2    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p3  249:3    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p4  249:4    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p5  249:5    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p6  249:6    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p7  249:7    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p8  249:8    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p9  249:9    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p10 249:10   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p11 249:11   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p12 249:12   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p13 249:13   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p14 249:14   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p15 249:15   0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p16 259:0    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p17 259:1    0    1G  0 part
 ââpmem0p18 259:2    0    1G  0 part
