Some fixes for pstore (Was Re: [git pull] mnt_devname queue)

[Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>]

Al,

I haven't got all your suggestions implemented yet - but thought I'd do
a quick direction check to see if I understood your e-mail.

Fixes below:
1) Change from ->get_sb() to ->mount()
2) Use mount_single() instead of mount_nodev()
3) Pulled in ramfs_get_inode() & trimmed to what I need for pstore
4) Drop the ugly pstore_writefile() Just save data using kmalloc() and
   provide a pstore_file_read() that uses simple_read_from_buffer().

Still todo:
1) Handle multiple mounts
2) Use simple_pin_fs/mntput to prevent races
3) Move cleanup from unlink to evict_inode
4) Stop it from saving dmesg on a clean "reboot" [!! Not sure when it started doing this !!]


-Tony
