[PATCH] bdev: open() changes

The first of a series which move us toward blockdev hotplug support.  After
these we have achieved the following:

a) For "normal" (not bdevfs) inodes of block devices we never look at
   ->i_mapping.

b) For the same inodes we only look at ->i_bdev in bd_acquire() where it's
   used only as "here's what we'd found the last time" sort of cached value.
   If it's NULL, we just recalculate it.

c) Lots of messy expressions had been trimmed down, while we are at it.

(a) and (b) allow us to start doing proper block hotplug - we can destroy the
association between inode and bdev at any time, unhash bdev in question and
have new open() do everything from scratch, without waiting for old opened
files to close.  The goal is to be able to say "revoke everything over that
gendisk"/"revoke that partition" and have it do the right thing.


This patch:

Where the old code called (block device) ->open(inode, file), use
->open(inode->i_bdev->bd_inode, file).  Changes in drivers:

* none to those that only used inode->i_bdev and inode->i_rdev in their
  ->open() (bdev->bd_inode->i_bdev == bdev, so we are OK)

* floppy.c and floppy98.c used to call permission(inode, ...) in
  floppy_open().  Switched to permission(file->f_dentry->d_inode, ...)
