06cf91b4b4 pstore: fix pstore filesystem mount/remount issue
Currently after mount/remount operation on pstore filesystem,
the content on pstore will be lost. It is because current ERST
implementation doesn't support multi-user usage, which moves
internal pointer to the end after accessing it. Adding
multi-user support for pstore usage.

8d38d74b64 pstore: fix one type of return value in pstore
the return type of function _read_ in pstore is size_t,
but in the callback function of _read_, the logic doesn't
consider it too much, which means if negative value (assuming
error here) is returned, it will be converted to positive because
of type casting. ssize_t is enough for this function.

9f6af27fb6 pstore: cleanups to pstore_dump()
pstore_dump() can be called with many different "reason" codes. Save
the name of the code in the persistent store record.

Also - only worthwhile calling pstore_mkfile for KMSG_DUMP_OOPS - that
is the only one where the kernel will continue running.

366f7e7a79 pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes
/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
obviously be tuned with a mount option.

ca01d6dd2d pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage
Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash.  This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore.  Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
