rev: coding style, various fixes
* Change indentation to 8 characters and coding style, for better reading the code.
* Add some memory allocation error handling.
* Fix memory leaks. In cases when Ctrl-C is used to exit the program,
'p' cannot be freed, so made it a global var, to share between main()
and sig_handler(). Signal handing is necessary to fix some leaks, so
added a very basic, non invasive, mechanism.

The current heuristic for conversion from partition to whole-disk
is based on device names. It's pretty poor. This patch replaces this
code with blkid_devno_to_wholedisk(). This solution is based on
/sys FS and it works for arbitrary partitioned devices.
The another problem is the way how fsck determines stacked devices.
The current code checks device name for "md" prefix only. It does not
care about DM, dm-ccypt, and so on. This patch uses
/sys/block/.../slaves/, but it does not fully resolves dependencies
between all devices. The method is simple -- fsck does not check
stacked devices in parallel with any other device.

agetty: add -s to reuse existing baud rate
For example:
/sbin/agetty -s /dev/ttyS0 9600
will reuse the speed the kernel configured on the port. If the setting
from kernel is useless (tty returns BREAK character) then the baud
rate from command line (9600) is used.

mount: get most recently mounted fs from /etc/mtab.
I spent most of the day tracking down this subtle remount bug. I
think this is the correct solution but I'd appreciate some
double-checking. I suspect this bug will munge the mount options
whenever you remount a file system mounted on the same mountpoint as
another file system, using the mountpoint as the handle.
mount: get most recently mounted fs from /etc/mtab.
In mount, when using /etc/mtab to lookup a mount entry, get the most
recently mounted entry instead of the first mounted entry. You want
to manipulate the most recent mount, not a covered mount. See comment
to umount_one_bw().
This bug has been util-linux-ng since the first git checkin. It
finally showed up on my system with the change to stop using
SETLOOP_AUTOCLEAR if /etc/mtab is writable (commit af092544). If you
do a remount of a file system mounted on the same dir as another file
system, it will take the options from the first mount and write them
out to /etc/mtab as the options to the second mount - including, in
the case of a loop device, loop=/dev/loop0. Then when you umount the
second mount, it grabs the line from /etc/mtab and tries to tear down
the loop device, which complains because it is still in use by the
first mount.
Reproducible test case (on a system with writable /etc/mtab):
mount -o loop,ro /tmp/ro /mnt
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
mount -o remount,ro /mnt
cat /etc/mtab | tail -2
build-sys: drop the getsize test out of Makefile.am
The #ifdef TEST_PROGRAM block was removed with commit 3069624180bac35f1cd468249ddb9dfc91d1b7b1 so there is no point in
keeping the tests declared, as it won't build.

mount: fix "mount -a" for auto-clear loopdevs and /proc/mounts
The "mount -a" uses /etc/mtab to detect already mounted file systems
from /etc/fstab -- this check requires the same FS name (1st field)
in fstab and mtab.
On systems with enabled auto-clear loop devies or systems without
regular mtab (symlink to /proc/mounts) there is /dev/loopN rather
than image filename in mtab. For example:
fstab:
/mnt/store/foo.ISO /mnt/image auto defaults 0 0
mtab:
/dev/loop0 /mnt/image iso9960 rw 0 0
We have to scan all available loop devices to check if some of the
devices is not associated with the image file from fstab.

mount: don't use auto-clear loopdev if mtab is available
# mount /home/images/floppy.img /mnt/test2
# mount | grep loop
/dev/loop0 on /mnt/test2 type udf (rw)
mount(8) with auto-clear loopdev does not store information about the
original backing file (the image) to /etc/mtab. (Note that this is our
long-term goal, because we want to remove mtab from Linux.)
Unfortunately, losetup(8) is not able to provide full path for the
backing file, because LOOP_GET_STATUS ioctl uses 64 bytes for the
filename...
So, without the information about the backing file in mtab the
information about mapping between the file and the loopdev is
unaccessible from userspace.
From my point of view it would be nice to add all necessary
information about loopdevs to /sys rather than rely on broken
LOOP_GET_STATUS[64] ioctls.

According to a search on the internet, the 200 file number is not a
posix shell feature, since posix shells are only mandated to have 1
through 9. I haven't verified that this claim is right, but, at least
dash doesn't like the 200. So here is a patch for the flock man page
that replaces 200 with 9.

swapon: Document btrfs limitation with swapfiles
Btrfs, as of 2.6.35, is unable to allow swapfiles to be used on its
filesystems. This is due to the swapfile implementation wanting to
build an extent map of each block in the file and expecting it to be
static for the life of the swapfile.
Btrfs can't guarantee this and refuses to return the mapping. The
swapfile implementation just makes a comment about there being holes
in the file - but that's how btrfs denies the mapping.
This patch adds a section to the swapon manpage to document it.
