Will displace nilfs_mdt_read_inode_direct function with an individual
read method: nilfs_dat_read, nilfs_sufile_read, nilfs_cpfile_read.
This provides the opportunity to initialize local variables of each
metadata file after reading the inode.

This will displace nilfs_mdt_new() constructor with individual
metadata file constructors like nilfs_dat_new(), new_sufile_new(),
nilfs_cpfile_new(), and nilfs_ifile_new().
This makes it possible for each metadata file to have own
intialization code.

This gets rid of NILFS_CPFILE_GFP, NILFS_SUFILE_GFP, NILFS_DAT_GFP,
and NILFS_IFILE_GFP. All of these constants refer to NILFS_MDT_GFP,
and can be removed.

Nilfs has some ioctl commands to read out metadata from meta data
files:
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO for checkpoint file,
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO for segment usage file, and
- NILFS_IOCTL_GET_VINFO for Disk Address Transalation (DAT) file,
respectively.
Every routine on these metadata files is implemented so that it allows
future expansion of on-disk format. But, the above ioctl commands do
not support expansion even though nilfs_argv structure can handle
arbitrary size for data exchanged via ioctl.
This allows future expansion of the following structures which give
basic format of the "get information" ioctls:
- struct nilfs_cpinfo
- struct nilfs_suinfo
- struct nilfs_vinfo
So, this introduces forward compatility of such ioctl commands.
In this patch, a sanity check in nilfs_ioctl_get_info() function is
changed to accept larger data structure [1], and metadata read
routines are rewritten so that they become compatible for larger
structures; the routines will just ignore the remaining fields which
the current version of nilfs doesn't know.
[1] The ioctl function already has another upper limit (PAGE_SIZE
against a structure, which appears in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy
function), and this will not cause security problem.

This resolves the following failure of nilfs2 cleaner daemon:
nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: cannot clean segments: No such file or directory
nilfs_cleanerd[20670]: shutdown
When creating thousands of snapshots, the cleaner daemon had rarely died
as above due to an error returned from the kernel code.
After applying the recent patch which fixed memory allocation problems in
ioctl (Message-Id: <20081215.155840.105124170.ryusuke@osrg.net>), the
problem gets more frequent.
It turned out to be a bug of nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function and one of its
callback routines to read out information of snapshots; if the
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy function divided a large read request into multiple
requests, the second and later requests have failed since a restart
position on snapshot meta data was not properly set forward.
It's a deficiency of the callback interface that cannot pass the restart
position among multiple requests. This patch fixes the issue by allowing
nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy and snapshot read functions to exchange a position
argument.

This adds a meta data file which holds checkpoint entries in its data
blocks.
