Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 45f0de4f8d char: misc: add test cases
Add test cases for static and dynamic minor number allocation and
deallocation.

While at it, improve description and test suite name.

Some of the cases include:

- that static and dynamic allocation reserved the expected minors.

- that registering duplicate minors or duplicate names will fail.

- that failing to create a sysfs file (due to duplicate names) will
  deallocate the dynamic minor correctly.

- that dynamic allocation does not allocate a minor number in the static
  range.

- that there are no collisions when mixing dynamic and static allocations.

- that opening devices with various minor device numbers work.

- that registering a static number in the dynamic range won't conflict with
  a dynamic allocation.

This last test verifies the bug fixed by commit 6d04d2b554 ("misc:
misc_minor_alloc to use ida for all dynamic/misc dynamic minors") has not
regressed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
