block: allow disk to have extended device number
Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to
allow disk to have extended device number. This patch makes
add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero. Both
sd and ide-disk are updated to use this.
* sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine
the drive name. This removes disk number restriction stemming from
limited device names.
* If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW),
sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose
extended device number.
* If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set
minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.
