Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space
we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode.

<title>fs: introduce f_op-&gt;mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support</title>

<content type='text'>
Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

<title>fs: push sync_filesystem() down to the file system's remount_fs()</title>

<id>02b9984d640873b7b3809e63f81a0d7e13496886</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, the no-op "mount -o mount /dev/xxx" operation when the
file system is already mounted read-write causes an implied,
unconditional syncfs().  This seems pretty stupid, and it's certainly
documented or guaraunteed to do this, nor is it particularly useful,
except in the case where the file system was mounted rw and is getting
remounted read-only.

However, it's possible that there might be some file systems that are
actually depending on this behavior.  In most file systems, it's
probably fine to only call sync_filesystem() when transitioning from
read-write to read-only, and there are some file systems where this is
not needed at all (for example, for a pseudo-filesystem or something
like romfs).

Getting an inode by romfs_iget may lead to an err in fill_super, and the
err value should be return.

And it should return -ENOMEM instead while d_make_root fails, fix it too.

<title>romfs: fix nommu map length to keep inside filesystem</title>

<id>e4ba4fc2b98f659f525d02721643a01015a8e3ed</id>
<content type='text'>
Checks introduced in commit 4991e7251 ("romfs: do not use
mtd-&gt;get_unmapped_area directly") re-introduce problems fixed in the earlier
commit 2b4b2482e ("romfs: fix romfs_get_unmapped_area() argument check").

If a flat binary app is located at the end of a romfs, its page aligned
length may be outside of the romfs filesystem. The flat binary loader, via
nommu do_mmap_pgoff(), page aligns the length it is mmaping. So simple
offset+size checks will fail - returning EINVAL.

We can truncate the length to keep it inside the romfs filesystem, and that
also keeps the call to mtd_get_unmapped_area() happy.

Are there any side effects to truncating the size here though?
