[PATCH] fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilization

From: Denis ChengRq
Date: Fri Sep 26 2008 - 14:53:34 EST


This simple patch includes serveral improvements:
1. iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of bd_mnt,
so bd_mnt could be just a local variable;
2. blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt not;
3. make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference to
blockdev_superblock.
