Provide a devres interface for initializing a badblocks instance. The
pmem driver has several scenarios where it will be beneficial to have
this structure automatically freed when the device is disabled / fails
probe.

The badblocks list attached to a gendisk is allocated by the driver
which equates to the driver owning the lifetime of the object. Do not
automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for
expanding the use of badblocks in libnvdimm drivers and introducing
devm_init_badblocks().

For symmetry with badblocks_init() make it clear that this path only
destroys incremental allocations of a badblocks instance, and does not
free the badblocks instance itself.

Take the core badblocks implementation from md, and make it generally
available. This follows the same style as kernel implementations of
linked lists, rb-trees etc, where you can have a structure that can be
embedded anywhere, and accessor functions to manipulate the data.
The only changes in this copy of the code are ones to generalize
function/variable names from md-specific ones. Also add init and free
functions.
