Subject[PATCH] UML - Fix previous request size limit fix
[ This is both 2.6.24 and -stable material ]

The previous patch which limited the number of sectors in a single
request to a COWed device was correct in concept, but the limit was
implemented in the wrong place.

By putting it in ubd_add, it covered the cases where the COWing was
specified on the command line. However, when the command line only
has the COW file specified, the fact that it's a COW file isn't known
until it's opened, so the limit is missed in these cases.

This patch moves the sector limit from ubd_add to ubd_open_dev.
