Christoph Hellwig a782483cc1 block: remove the nr_sects field in struct hd_struct
Now that the hd_struct always has a block device attached to it, there is
no need for having two size field that just get out of sync.

Additionally the field in hd_struct did not use proper serialization,
possibly allowing for torn writes.  By only using the block_device field
this problem also gets fixed.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
