md: correctly handle probe of an 'mdp' device.
'mdp' devices are md devices with preallocated device numbers for partitions. As such it is possible to mknod and open a partition before opening the whole device. this causes md_probe() to be called with a device number of a partition, which in-turn calls mddev_find with such a number. However mddev_find expects the number of a 'whole device' and does the wrong thing with partition numbers. So add code to mddev_find to remove the 'partition' part of a device number and just work with the 'whole device'. This patch addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28652 Reported-by: hkmaly@bigfoot.com Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org>
