block: export diskseq in sysfs
Add a new sysfs handle to export the new diskseq value. Place it in <sysfs>/block/<disk>/diskseq and document it. $ grep . /sys/class/block/*/diskseq /sys/class/block/loop0/diskseq:13 /sys/class/block/loop1/diskseq:14 /sys/class/block/loop2/diskseq:5 /sys/class/block/loop3/diskseq:6 /sys/class/block/ram0/diskseq:1 /sys/class/block/ram1/diskseq:2 /sys/class/block/vda/diskseq:7 Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce <mcroce@microsoft.com> Tested-by: Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210712230530.29323-5-mcroce@linux.microsoft.com Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

+Description:
+ The /sys/block/<disk>/diskseq files reports the disk
+ sequence number, which is a monotonically increasing
+ number assigned to every drive.
+ Some devices, like the loop device, refresh such number
+ every time the backing file is changed.
+ The value type is 64 bit unsigned.
