mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.
In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.
With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH
[mszeredi@suse.cz]
- split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
- document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
- do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
won't be initialized
- remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much
