[PATCH 1/3] sysfs representation of stacked devices (common) (rev.2)

["Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>]

This patch adds bd_claim_by_kobject and bd_release_from_kobject
which create/remove symlinks between the claimed bdev and
the holder.

Adding bd_claim_by_kobject/bd_release_from_kobject for use by
stacked device drivers (dm and md)
