[PATCH 3.8 76/91] efi-pstore: Make efi-pstore return a unique id

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Madper Xie <cxie@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fdeadb43fdf1e7d5698c027b555c389174548e5a upstream.

Pstore fs expects that backends provide a unique id which could avoid
pstore making entries as duplication or denominating entries the same
name. So I combine the timestamp, part and count into id.
