In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if -&gt;check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.

Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk-&gt;events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.

amiga_chip_alloc() returns a void *, so we don't need a cast.
Also clean up coding style while we're at it.

Convert the floppy drivers from -&gt;media_changed() to -&gt;check_events().
Both floppy and ataflop buffer media changed state bit and clear them
on revalidation and will behave correctly with kernel event polling.

I can't tell how amiflop clears its event and it's possible that it
may generate spurious events when polled.

Geert, my crosstool don't produce warning below. I guess this has to do
something with compiler version.

- Geert noticed following warning during compilation.

  drivers/block/amiflop.c:1344: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function
  drivers/block/ataflop.c:1402: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function

- Initialize rq to NULL to fix the warning. If we can't find a suitable request
  to dispatch, this function should return NULL instead of a possibly garbage
  pointer.

- Cross compile tested only. Don't have hardware to test it.

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev-&gt;bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
-&gt;open and -&gt;release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
