chardev: add a check for given minor range
register_chrdev_region() carefully checks minor range before calling __register_chrdev_region() but there is another path from alloc_chrdev_region() which does not check the range properly. So add a check for given minor range in __register_chrdev_region(). Signed-off-by: Chengguang Xu <cgxu519@gmx.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
