JFFS2 does not appear to set s_bdi anywhere.  And as of 32a88aa1,
__sync_filesystem() will return 0 if s_bdi is not set.  As a result,
sync_fs() is never called for jffs2 and whatever remains in the wbuf
will not make it to the device.

Fix that up by assigning the mtd bdi.

<title>vfs: simple_set_mnt() should return void</title>

simple_set_mnt() is defined as returning 'int' but always returns 0.
Callers assume simple_set_mnt() never fails and don't properly cleanup if
it were to _ever_ fail.  For instance, get_sb_single() and get_sb_nodev()
should:

        up_write(sb-&gt;s_unmount);
        deactivate_super(sb);

if simple_set_mnt() fails.

Since simple_set_mnt() never fails, would be cleaner if it did not
return anything.

As reported by Adrian Bunk, commit d5686b444ff3f72808d2b3fbd58672a86cdf38e7
(switch mtd and dm-table to lookup_bdev()) causes the following compile
error with CONFIG_BLOCK=n:

  CC      drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.o
drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.c: In function `get_sb_mtd':
drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.c:184: error: implicit declaration of function 'lookup_bdev'
drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.c:184: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.c:197: error: implicit declaration of function 'bdput'
make[3]: *** [drivers/mtd/mtdsuper.o] Error 1

Fix it by putting the block device lookup inside #ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK

<title>Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd-&gt;{dentry,mnt}</title>

This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  &lt;dentry,vfsmount&gt; pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd-&gt;{dentry,mnt} to nd-&gt;path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.
