[PATCH] lockdep: annotate blkdev nesting

Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.

Effects on non-lockdep kernels:

- the introduction of the following function variants:

  extern struct block_device *open_partition_by_devnum(dev_t, unsigned);

  extern int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *);

  static int
  blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

 which on non-lockdep are the same as open_by_devnum(), blkdev_put()
 and blkdev_get().

- a subclass parameter to do_open(). [unused on non-lockdep]

- a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal
  function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused
  on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s]

these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express
object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.
