Nothing uses prepare_write or commit_write. Remove them from the tree
completely.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: schedule simple_prepare_write() for unexporting]

NB: nbd_ioctl() appears to be racy; BKL is held, but doesn't really
help, AFAICS. Left as-is for now, but it'll need fixing.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Analog of blkdev_driver_ioctl() with sane arguments. For
now uses fake struct file, by the end of the series it won't
and blkdev_driver_ioctl() will become a wrapper around it.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]
