Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to
allow disk to have extended device number.  This patch makes
add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero.  Both
sd and ide-disk are updated to use this.

* sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine
  the drive name.  This removes disk number restriction stemming from
  limited device names.

* If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW),
  sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose
  extended device number.

* If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set
  minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of
partitions.  Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that
setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed
partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions
as determined by MAX_PART constant).

This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes
@minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary.  The parameter
is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.

Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...

* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
  is not part0.  ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().

* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.

* part_round_stats() is updated similary.  It handles part0 stats
  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
gets pretty confusing at times.

This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
and parts piece-by-piece.

This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become
much less important.

Implement extended device numbers.  A block driver can tell block
layer that it wants to use extended device numbers.  After the usual
minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's
from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR.

Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the
allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should
suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and
if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is
easy.

Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be
allocated on the extended area.  In other words, genhd->minors should
at least be 1.  This limitation will be lifted by later changes.

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.

This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.

* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
  genhd layer proper accesses it directly.

* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.

* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
  partitions from gendisk respectively.

* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
  safely.

* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.

* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting

  ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
  disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
  convert them for consistency.

* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
  genhd->minors.

* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
  space.

* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it

A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
iteration.

This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
iteration can skip already deleted entries.  The dead flag piggy backs
on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
implementation proper.

While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.
