The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

<content type='text'>
REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
at this point is:

 - various checks inside the block layer.
 - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
   better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

Structure hd_geometry is copied to userland with 4 padding bytes
between cylinders and start fields uninitialized on 64-bit platforms.
It leads to leaking of contents of kernel stack memory.

Currently there is no memset() in real implementations of getgeo()
in drivers/block/, so it makes sense to have memset() in blkdev_ioctl().

Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().

i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes.  Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}.  But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.
