Linus Torvalds d3594ea2b3 Merge branch 'block-dev'
Merge 'block-dev' branch.

I was going to just mark everything here for stable and leave it to the
3.8 merge window, but having decided on doing another -rc, I migth as
well merge it now.

This removes the bd_block_size_semaphore semaphore that was added in
this release to fix a race condition between block size changes and
block IO, and replaces it with atomicity guaratees in fs/buffer.c
instead, along with simplifying fs/block-dev.c.

This removes more lines than it adds, makes the code generally simpler,
and avoids the latency/rt issues that the block size semaphore
introduced for mount.

I'm not happy with the timing, but it wouldn't be much better doing this
during the merge window and then having some delayed back-port of it
into stable.

* block-dev:
  blkdev_max_block: make private to fs/buffer.c
  direct-io: don't read inode->i_blkbits multiple times
  blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again
  fs/buffer.c: make block-size be per-page and protected by the page lock
