[PATCH 07/18] [PATCH] BLOCK: Remove dependence on existence of blockdev_superblock [try #3]

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Move blockdev_superblock extern declaration from fs/fs-writeback.c to a
headerfile and remove the dependence on it by wrapping it in a macro.
