Tony Luck 9f6af27fb6 pstore: cleanups to pstore_dump()
pstore_dump() can be called with many different "reason" codes. Save
the name of the code in the persistent store record.

Also - only worthwhile calling pstore_mkfile for KMSG_DUMP_OOPS - that
is the only one where the kernel will continue running.

Luck, Tony 366f7e7a79 pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes
/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
obviously be tuned with a mount option.

Tony Luck fbe0aa1f3d Some fixes for pstore
1) Change from ->get_sb() to ->mount()
2) Use mount_single() instead of mount_nodev()
3) Pulled in ramfs_get_inode() & trimmed to what I need for pstore
4) Drop the ugly pstore_writefile() Just save data using kmalloc() and
   provide a pstore_file_read() that uses simple_read_from_buffer().

Tony Luck ca01d6dd2d pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash.  This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore.  Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
