mtd: Raise limit on block device minor numbers
add_mtd_blktrans_dev() imposes a maximum of 257 devices per block
translator. This was presumably meant to prevent overflow back in the
days of 8-bit minor numbers. Instead, check against MINORMASK and the
limits of the partition naming scheme.

Currently the locking in blockdev_direct_IO is a mess, we have three
different locking types and very confusing checks for some of them. The
most complicated one is DIO_OWN_LOCKING for reads, which happens to not
actually be used.
This patch gets rid of the DIO_OWN_LOCKING - as mentioned above the read
case is unused anyway, and the write side is almost identical to
DIO_NO_LOCKING. The difference is that DIO_NO_LOCKING always sets the
create argument for the get_blocks callback to zero, but we can easily
move that to the actual get_blocks callbacks. There are four users of the
DIO_NO_LOCKING mode: gfs already ignores the create argument and thus is
fine with the new version, ocfs2 only errors out if create were ever set,
and we can remove this dead code now, the block device code only ever uses
create for an error message if we are fully beyond the device which can
never happen, and last but not least XFS will need the new behavour for
writes.
Now we can replace the lock_type variable with a flags one, where no flag
means the DIO_NO_LOCKING behaviour and DIO_LOCKING is kept as the first
flag. Separate out the check for not allowing to fill holes into a
separate flag, although for now both flags always get set at the same
time.
Also revamp the documentation of the locking scheme to actually make
sense.

dio: zero struct dio with kzalloc instead of manually
This patch uses kzalloc to zero all of struct dio rather than
manually trying to track which fields we rely on being zero. It
passed aio+dio stress testing and some bug regression testing on
ext3.
This patch was introduced by Linus in the conversation that lead up
to Badari's minimal fix to manually zero .map_bh.b_state in commit:
I was unable to measure a stable difference in the number of cpu
cycles spent in blockdev_direct_IO() when pushing aio+dio 256K reads
at ~340MB/s.
So the resulting intent of the patch isn't a performance gain but to
avoid exposing ourselves to the risk of finding another field like
.map_bh.b_state where we rely on zeroing but don't enforce it in the
code.
Zach surmised that zeroing out the page array was what caused most of
the problem, and suggested the approach taken in the attached patch for
resolving the issue. Intel re-tested with this patch and saw a 0.6%
performance gain (the original regression was 0.5%).

aio: remove unused field
Don't know the reason, but it appears ki_wait field of iocb never gets used.

FS-Cache: Avoid maybe-used-uninitialised warning on variable
Andrew Morton's compiler sees the following warning in FS-Cache:
fs/fscache/object-list.c: In function 'fscache_objlist_lookup':
fs/fscache/object-list.c:94: warning: 'obj' may be used uninitialized in this function
which my compiler doesn't. This is a false positive as obj can only be
used in the comparison against minobj if minobj has been set to something
other than NULL, but for that to happen, obj has to be first set to
something.
Deal with this by preclearing obj too.
