Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl") drops check on max supported partitions number, and allows partition with bigger partition number to be added. However, ->bd_partno is defined as u8, so partition index of xarray table may not match with ->bd_partno. Then delete_partition() may delete one unmatched partition, and caused use-after-free.
