[PATCH 4.14 155/193] chardev: add additional check for minor range overlap

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

[ Upstream commit de36e16d1557a0b6eb328bc3516359a12ba5c25c ]

Current overlap checking cannot correctly handle
a case which is baseminor < existing baseminor &&
baseminor + minorct > existing baseminor + minorct.
