decouple block open flags from fmode_t

Hi all,

this series adds a new blk_mode_t for block open flags instead of abusing
fmode_t.  The block open flags work very different from the normal use of
fmode_t and only share the basic READ/WRITE flags with it.  None of the
other normal FMODE_* flags is used, but instead there are three
block-specific ones not used by anyone else, which can now be removed.

Note that I've only CCed maintainers and lists for drivers and file systems
that have non-trivial changes, as otherwise the series would spam literally
everyone in the block and file system world.
