    block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT · 689d6fac

    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.
