block: simplify disk shutdown

Set the queue dying flag and call blk_mq_exit_queue from del_gendisk for
all disks that do not have separately allocated queues, and thus remove
the need to call blk_cleanup_queue for them.

Rename blk_cleanup_disk to blk_mq_destroy_queue to make it clear that
this function is intended only for separately allocated blk-mq queues.

This saves an extra queue freeze for devices without a separately
allocated queue.

treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

block: introduce new block status code type

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

block/z2ram: Remove duplicate external declarations

Remove the external declarations for m68k_realnum_memory and m68k_memory,
which are already provided by <asm/setup.h>, to avoid conflicts later.

zorro: ZTWO_VADDR() should return "void __iomem *"

ZTWO_VADDR() converts from physical to virtual I/O addresses, so it should
return "void __iomem *" instead of "unsigned long".

This allows to drop

zorro: ZTWO_VADDR() should return "void __iomem *"

ZTWO_VADDR() converts from physical to virtual I/O addresses, so it should
return "void __iomem *" instead of "unsigned long".

This allows to drop several casts, but requires adding a few casts to
accomodate legacy driver frameworks that store "unsigned long" I/O
addresses.

block_device_operations->release() should return void

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out

block_device_operations->release() should return void

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.
