This error log stuff is really pseries specific. As a first step we move
the initialization of these variables to the caller of
nvram_create_partition(), which is also slightly reorganized so we
setup the free partition before we clear the new partition, so the
chance of an error during clear leaving us with invalid headers
is lessened.

When creating a partition, we clear it entirely rather than
just the first two words since the previous code was rather
specific to the pseries log partition format.

Use BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the structure representing a partition
header have the right size.

This converts nvram_create_partition() to use a size in bytes
rather than blocks. It does the appropriate alignment internally
The size passed is also the data size (ie. doesn't include the
header anymore).

Replace nvram_create_os_partition() with a variant that takes
the partition name, signature and size as arguments.

This moves a bunch of definitions out of asm/nvram.h to the files
that use them or just outright remove completely unused stuff.
We leave the partition signatures definitions, they will be useful

PowerPC relies on IRQ-disable to guard against RCU quiecent states,
use the appropriate RCU call version.

This avoids some include-file hell, and the function isn't really
important enough to be inlined anyway.

And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.
The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.
The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called. But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

.. and change it to take the 'file' pointer instead of an inode, since
that's what all users want anyway.
The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users. The old
'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so
before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.
