Subject: [PATCH] fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilization

This simple patch includes serveral improvements:
1. iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of bd_mnt,
  so bd_mnt could be just a local variable;
2. blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt not;
3. make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference to
  blockdev_superblock.
