[PATCH v2 1/6] block: add disk sequence number

[Matteo Croce]

From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a monotonically increasing number to disk devices. This number is put
in the uevent so userspace can correlate events when a driver reuses a
device, like cdrom or loop.

    $ udevadm info /sys/class/block/* |grep -e DEVNAME -e DISKSEQ
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop0
    E: DISKSEQ=1
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop1
    E: DISKSEQ=2
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop2
    E: DISKSEQ=3
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop3
    E: DISKSEQ=4
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop4
    E: DISKSEQ=5
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop5
    E: DISKSEQ=6
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop6
    E: DISKSEQ=7
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/loop7
    E: DISKSEQ=8
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1p1
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1p2
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1p3
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1p4
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/nvme0n1p5
    E: DISKSEQ=9
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/sda
    E: DISKSEQ=10
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/sda1
    E: DISKSEQ=10
    E: DEVNAME=/dev/sda2
    E: DISKSEQ=10
