[GIT PULL] pstore updates for v5.8-rc1

[Kees Cook]

Hi Linus,

Please pull these pstore updates for v5.8-rc1. This is a pretty big set
of changes (relative to past pstore pulls), but they've lived in -next
for a while. The biggest change here is the ability to support a block
device as a pstore backend, which has been desired for a while. A lot of
additional fixes and refactorings are also included, mostly in support
of the new features.

Thanks!

-Kees
