This patch adds partition management for Block RAM Device (BRD).
This patch is done to keep in sync BRD and loop device drivers.
This patch adds a parameter to the module, max_part, to specify
the maximum number of partitions per RAM device.
Example:
# modprobe brd max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 0 2008-04-03 13:39 /dev/ram0

Fuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings
(normal writes are done synchronously). This is needed, because there cannot
be any guarantee about the time in which a write will complete.
By using temporary buffers, from the MM's point if view the page is written
back immediately. If the writeout was due to memory pressure, this
effectively migrates data from a full zone to a less full zone.
This patch adds a new counter (NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP) for the number of pages used
as temporary buffers.

- Remove various surplus lock calls we no longer need
- Remove proc_write method as noted by Alexey Dobriyan
