[RFC PATCH v3 04/18] ledtrig-blkdev: Add misc. helper functions to blkdev LED trigger

[Ian Pilcher]

Add various helper functions to the block device LED trigger:

  * blkdev_mkdir() - create a sysfs directory (and don't swallow error
    codes)

  * blkdev_streq(), blkdev_skip_space() & blkdev_find_space() - for
    parsing writes to sysfs attributes

  * blkdev_read_mode() & blkdev_write_mode() - LED mode activity type
    helpers
