Tejun Heo 689d6fac40 block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT ...

With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of
partitions.  Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that
setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed
partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions
as determined by MAX_PART constant).

This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes
@minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary.  The parameter
is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.
