Please add a space after /* and before */.

I would move this check before the "start = ...;" And while at it, I would also
move the check for p.start being aligned out of the "case BLKPG_ADD_PARTITION:"
together with this length alignment check. The p.start check is not needed for
BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION, but it will not hurt either.
