Subject: [PATCH 1/4] FS: filesystem corruption notification

Add a generic mechnism to notify the userspace about possible filesystem
corruption through sysfs entry (/sys/block/<bdev>/<part>/fs_unclean)
and uevent (KOBJ_CHANGE, uevent's environment variable FS_UNCLEAN=[0:1]).

To mark fs clean (e.g. after fs was fixed by userspace):

echo 0 > /sys/block/<bdev>/<part>/fs_unclean
(you will still receive uevent KOBJ_CHANGE with env var FS_UNCLEAN=0)
