    Add a new generic ioctls for querying the filesystem UUID.
    
    These are lifted versions of the ext4 ioctls, with one change: we're not
    using a flexible array member, because UUIDs will never be more than 16
    bytes.
    
    This patch adds a generic implementation of FS_IOC_GETFSUUID, which
    reads from super_block->s_uuid. We're not lifting SETFSUUID from ext4 -
    that can be done on offline filesystems by the people who need it,
    trying to do it online is just asking for too much trouble.
