md: reject v0.90 arrays with too many devices

The v0.90 superblock has room for MD_SB_DISKS device descriptors, but
super_90_load() only rejects nonpositive raid_disks values. A crafted
superblock can therefore copy a larger value into mddev->raid_disks. When
metadata is next updated, super_90_sync() walks sb->disks[] up to that
count and reads and writes beyond the 4 KiB superblock buffer.

A checksum-valid RAID1 member advertising 64 devices can be assembled by
mdadm --incremental --run. The first write to the array then produces
out-of-bounds writes from super_90_sync() under KASAN.

Reject device counts that cannot be represented by the v0.90 format while
loading the superblock.
