nbd: fix possible overflow on 'first_minor' in nbd_dev_add()
[ Upstream commit 6d35d04a9e18990040e87d2bbf72689252669d54 ]
When 'index' is a big numbers, it may become negative which forced
to 'int'. then 'index << part_shift' might overflow to a positive
value that is not greater than '0xfffff', then sysfs might complains
about duplicate creation. Because of this, move the 'index' judgment
to the front will fix it and be better.
