[JFFS2] Support new device nodes
Device node major/minor numbers are just stored in the payload of a single data node. Just extend that to 4 bytes and use new_encode_dev() for it. We only use the 4-byte format if we _need_ to, if !old_valid_dev(foo). This preserves backwards compatibility with older code as much as possible. If we do make devices with major or minor numbers above 255, and then mount the file system with the old code, it'll just read the first two bytes and get the numbers wrong. If it comes to garbage-collect it, it'll then write back those wrong numbers. But that's about the best we can expect. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
