When we define preference value of type "range" with a maximum value of say N, 
wireshark does not provide any error when user enters a value N+1.

Example : "TCP ports" parameter for HTTP dissector will take values greater 
than max value of 65535.

This patch fixes this problem by comparing the user entered value with 
max_value rather than G_MAXUINT32.
