mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
 - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
 - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
   won't be initialized
 - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much
