block: implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT

Browse source 
Extended devt introduces non-contiguos device numbers.  This patch
implements a debug option which forces most devt allocations to be
from the extended area and spreads them out.  This is enabled by
default if DEBUG_KERNEL is set and achieves...

1. Detects code paths in kernel or userland which expect predetermined
   consecutive device numbers.

2. When something goes wrong, avoid corruption as adding to the minor
   of earlier partition won't lead to the wrong but valid device.

help
Conventionally, block device numbers are allocated from
predetermined contiguous area. However, extended block area
may introduce non-contiguous block device numbers. This
option forces most block device numbers to be allocated from
the extended space and spreads them to discover kernel or
userland code paths which assume predetermined contiguous
device number allocation.
