Fix the documentation of the devt_from_partuuid() return value.

Fix the following two recently introduced kernel-doc warnings:

block/bdev.c:570: warning: Function parameter or member 'hops' not described in 'bd_finish_claiming'
block/early-lookup.c:46: warning: Function parameter or member 'devt' not described in 'devt_from_partuuid'

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens</title>

<id>2736e8eeb0ccdc71d1f4256c9c9a28f58cc43307</id>
<content type='text'>
The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder.  Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.

For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

<title>block: also call -&gt;open for incremental partition opens</title>

For whole devices -&gt;open is called for each open, but for partitions it
is only called on the first open of a partition, e.g.:

  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - 2 call to -&gt;open

  open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - 2 call to -&gt;open

  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - just open call to -&gt;open

This is problematic as various block drivers look at open flags and
might not do all the required setup if the earlier open was with an
odd flag like O_NDELAY or the magic 3 ioctl-only open mode.

Add a new blk_holder_ops structure, which is passed to blkdev_get_by_* and
installed in the block_device for exclusive claims.  It will be used to
allow the block layer to call back into the user of the block device for
thing like notification of a removed device or a device resize.

The long if/else chain obsfucates the actual logic.  Tidy it up to be
more structured.  Also drop the whole argument, as it can be trivially
derived from bdev using bdev_whole, and having the bdev_whole in the
function makes it easier to follow.
