[PATCH] brd: prevent overflow caused by too large rd_size parameter

[Satoru Takeuchi]

The max value of rd_size parameter is ULONG_MAX from the following commit.

Commit 366f4aea649a65c3735d91b4409d84c771811290 ("brd: Switch rd_size
to unsigned long")

However, this parameter * 1024 will be set as inode->i_size corresponding
to brd devices and it's a signed value. To prevent overflow, this parameter
should be equal to or smaller than the max value of sector_t >> 11, 10 bits
are for 1024 and 1 bit is for sign bit.
