block, char_dev: Use correct format specifier for unsigned ints

Browse Source 
register_blkdev() and __register_chrdev_region() treat the major
number as an unsigned int. So print it the same way to avoid
absurd error statements such as:
"... major requested (-1) is greater than the maximum (511) ..."
(and also fix off-by-one bugs in the error prints).

While at it, also update the comment describing register_blkdev().

* The return value depends on the @major input parameter:
*
* - if a major device number was requested in range [1..255] then the
* function returns zero on success, or a negative error code
* - if a major device number was requested in range [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX-1]
* then the function returns zero on success, or a negative error code
* - if any unused major number was requested with @major = 0 parameter
* then the return value is the allocated major number in range

* [1..BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX-1] or a negative error code otherwise
*
* See Documentation/admin-guide/devices.txt for the list of allocated
