[PATCH 08/11] uml ubd driver: convert do_ubd to a boolean variable

["Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso" <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

do_ubd is actually just a boolean variable - the way it is used currently is a
leftover from the old 2.4 block layer, but it is still used; its use is
suspicious, but removing it would be too intrusive for now and needs more
thinking.
