[PATCH 14/21] block: mark underlying cdev with DEVFS_IS_BLOCK_DEV

When given a cdev, we detect whether it's a block device by testing that
its ops are those of a block device.

This has the downside that any block device must use the block caching layer.
ramdisks don't benefit from the caching though, so let's add a new flag
bit to mark block devices and use it in preparation for adding ramdisk
support.
