[PATCH] block layer: Add bdev capacity helper functionget_sect_count

[John Anthony Kazos Jr.]

From: John Anthony Kazos Jr. <jakj@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add static inline function get_sect_count to include/linux/genhd.h to 
complement get_start_sect. Returns sector_t capacity of block device 
whether it is whole or a partition.

This will be useful for fill_super functions of filesystems with online 
resizing for checks against recorded and actual device size. 
get_start_sect and get_sect_count are helper functions useful to keep 
things from breaking in case the block_device structure decides to change.

Applied against Linux v2.6.20.6.
