force_gpt_sector=<sector> causes the GPT partition search to
look at the specified sector for a valid GPT header if the
GPT is not found at the beginning or the end of the block
device.

	For disk devices, a new uevent parameter 'NPARTS' specifies the number
of partitions detected by the kernel. Partition devices get 'PARTN' which
specifies the partitions index in the table.

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from
the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.

Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.

This reverts commit 23ceb5b7719e9276d4fa72a3ecf94dd396755276.

The kernel automatically evaluates partition tables of storage devices.
The code for evaluating GUID partitions (in fs/partitions/efi.c) contains
a bug that causes a kernel oops on certain corrupted GUID partition
tables.

This bug has security impacts, because it allows, for example, to
prepare a storage device that crashes a kernel subsystem upon connecting
the device (e.g., a "USB Stick of (Partial) Death").

	crc = efi_crc32((const unsigned char *) (*gpt), le32_to_cpu((*gpt)->header_size));

computes a CRC32 checksum over gpt covering (*gpt)->header_size bytes.
There is no validation of (*gpt)->header_size before the efi_crc32 call.

A corrupted partition table may have large values for (*gpt)->header_size.
 In this case, the CRC32 computation access memory beyond the memory
allocated for gpt, which may cause a kernel heap overflow.

Validate value of GUID partition table header size.

----

At boot, I have a crash in part_discard_alignment_show+0x1b/0x50

CR2 : 000006ac

fault in : mov    0x2c(%rcx),%edx

I suspect commit 23ceb5b7719e9276d4 (block: Remove extra
discard_alignment from hd_struct) being in fault

----

Not quite known how ->queue can be NULL while the sysfs entry
exists, but lets play it safe and check for a NULL queue.
The rest of the sysfs show strategies in check.c do not dereference
disk->queue.
