[PATCH v3 6/8] pstore: support multiple pmsg instances

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

From: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This enables pmsg to deal with multiple instances. One possible
use is content priority control on limited persistent store space. By
using different buffers, we can prevent important messages from being
overwritten by less important messages.

When pstore backend module specifies the number of instances (num_pmsg)
in pstore_info, multiple /dev/pmsg[ID] appear. (ID is an integer
starting at 0. It corresponds to minor number of the each char device.)
Writes to each /dev/pmsg[ID] are isolated each other. After reboot, the
contents are available in /sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-[backend]-[ID].
