    writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h · 66114cad

    With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
    declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
    unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
    makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
    
    This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
    essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
    which need access to more backing-dev details now include
    backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
    include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
    and cgroup.
    
    v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.
