ublk: enforce ublks_max only for unprivileged devices

Commit 403ebc8778 ("ublk_drv: add module parameter of ublks_max for
limiting max allowed ublk dev"), claimed ublks_max was added to prevent
a DoS situation with an untrusted user creating too many ublk devices.
If that's the case, ublks_max should only restrict the number of
unprivileged ublk devices in the system. Enforce the limit only for
unprivileged ublk devices, and rename variables accordingly. Leave the
external-facing parameter name unchanged, since changing it may break
systems which use it (but still update its documentation to reflect its
new meaning).

As a result of this change, in a system where there are only normal
(non-unprivileged) devices, the maximum number of such devices is
increased to 1 << MINORBITS, or 1048576. That ought to be enough for
anyone, right?
