Bart Van Assche e152a05fa0 loop: Improve the hw_queue_depth kernel module parameter implementation
Make the following minor changes which were reported by colleagues
while reviewing this code:
- Remove the parentheses from around the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH
  definition since these are superfluous.
- Accept other number formats than decimal, e.g. hexadecimal.
- Do not set hw_queue_depth to an out-of-range value, even if that value
  won't be used.
- Use the LOOP_DEFAULT_HW_Q_DEPTH macro in the kernel module parameter
  description to prevent that the description gets out of sync.

This patch has been tested as follows:

 # modprobe -r loop
 # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=-1
 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Invalid argument
 # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=0
 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Invalid argument
 # modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=1; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth
 1
 # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth hw_queue_depth=0x10
 16
 # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth hw_queue_depth=128
 128
 # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=129; cat /sys/module/loop/parameters/hw_queue_depth
 129
 # modprobe -r loop; modprobe loop hw_queue_depth=$((1<<32))
 modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'loop': Numerical result out of range

depth").
