[PATCH] Update the obsolete comments of 'register_blkdev' func
From: richard clark
Date: Thu Jul 23 2020 - 01:17:14 EST
>From the code of 'register_blkdev(...)', the major number range
should be in [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE-1] while not [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX]
in case of calling 'register_blkdev(...) with @major = 0, so correct
the wrong info of the function's comments
