gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible NULL
pointer access:

  drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id':
  drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
     memcpy(mrq-&gt;data, buf, mrq-&gt;data_len);

This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG',
which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not
accessed.

As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the
data that we actually want to read into.  This is not needed here, but
also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.

<title>block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace</title>

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.

This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests.  It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.

When alloc_disk(0) is used the -&gt;major number is completely ignored.
All devices are allocated with a major of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.

So remove registration and deregistration of 'major'.

device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

do_div is the wrong way to divide a sector_t, as it is less efficient
when sector_t is 32-bit wide.  With the upcoming do_div optimizations,
the kernel starts warning about this:

  drivers/memstick/core/ms_block.c: In function 'msb_io_work':
  include/asm-generic/div64.h:207:28: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

This changes the code to use sector_div instead, which always produces
optimal code.

Using the indenting we can see the curly braces were obviously intended.
This is a static checker fix, but my guess is that we don't read enough
bytes, because we don't calculate "t_len" correctly.
