[GIT PULL] ->driverfs_dev removal for 4.8

["Williams, Dan J" <dan.j.williams@intel.com>]

Hi Jens, please pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm for-4.8/block

...to receive:

The removal of ->driverfs_dev in favor of just passing the parent
device in as a parameter to add_disk().  See below, it has received a
"Reviewed-by" from Christoph, Bart, and Johannes.

It is also a pre-requisite for Fam Zheng's work to cleanup gendisk
uevents vs attribute visibility [1].  We would extend device_add_disk()
to take an attribute_group list.

This is based off a branch of block.git/for-4.8/drivers and has
received a positive build success notification from the kbuild robot
across several configs.

commit e63a46bef01ff3064f44dba145833284fb6adeec

    block: introduce device_add_disk()
    
    In preparation for removing the ->driverfs_dev member of a gendisk, add
    an api that takes the parent device as a parameter to add_disk().  For
    now this maintains the status quo of WARN()ing on failure, but not
    return a error code.

    mmc: move 'parent' tracking to mmc_blk_data
    
    In preparation for the removal of 'driverfs_dev' from 'struct gendisk',
    carry this data in mmc_blk_data. It is used for registration of parent
    disks and partitions.

    um: track 'parent' device in a local variable
    
    In preparation for the removal of 'driverfs_dev' from 'struct gendisk'
    use a local variable to track the parented vs un-parented case in
    ubd_disk_register().

    block: convert to device_add_disk()
    
    For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
    device_add_disk().
    
    This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:
    
        @@
        struct gendisk *disk;
        expression E;
        @@
    
        - disk->driverfs_dev = E;
        ...
        - add_disk(disk);
        + device_add_disk(E, disk);
    
        @@
        struct gendisk *disk;
        expression E1, E2;
        @@
    
        - disk->driverfs_dev = E1;
        ...
        E2 = disk;
        ...
        - add_disk(E2);
        + device_add_disk(E1, E2);
    
    ...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.

    block: remove ->driverfs_dev
    
    Now that all drivers that specify a ->driverfs_dev have been converted
    to device_add_disk(), the pointer can be removed from struct gendisk.
