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.

Use memdup_user when user data is immediately copied into the
allocated region.  Some checkpatch cleanups in nearby code.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

-  to = \(kmalloc@p\|kzalloc@p\)(size,flag);

<title>block: push down BKL into .open and .release</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.
