[PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().
