mtd: mtdoops: limit the maximum mtd partition size

Make the maximum mtdoops partition size to be 8MiB. Indeed, it does
not make sense to use anything larger than that anyway. This limit
makes it possible to catch stupid mistakes where the user gives e.g.,
a rootfs partition to mtdoops (which will happily erase it).
