Subject: move memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h
From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>

James Bottomley warns that inclusion of linux/fs.h in a low level
driver was always a danger signal.  This patch moves
memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h and fixes includes in
existing memory_read_from_buffer() users.
