pstore/zone: Don't clear memory twice

There is no need to call memset(..., 0, ...) on memory allocated by
kcalloc(). It is already zeroed.

Remove the redundant call.

pstore/zone: Add a null pointer check to the psz_kmsg_read

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.

pstore/zone: Use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate zone buffer

There is a case found when triggering a panic_on_oom, pstore fails to dump
kmsg. Because psz_kmsg_write_record can't get the new buffer.

Handle this by using GFP_ATOMIC to allocate a buffer at lower watermark.

pstore/zone: cleanup "rcnt" type

The info->read() function returns ssize_t. That means that info->read()
either returns either negative error codes or a positive number
representing the bytes read.

The "rcnt" variable should be declared as ssize_t as well. Most places
do this correctly but psz_kmsg_recover_meta() needed to be fixed.

This code casts the "rcnt" to int. That is unnecessary when "rcnt"
is already signed. It's also slightly wrong because if info->read()
returned a very high (more than INT_MAX) number of bytes then this might
treat that as an error. This bug cannot happen in real life, so it
doesn't affect run time, but static checkers correctly complain that it
is wrong.

pstore/blk: Support non-block storage devices

Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls
pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself.

In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices,
where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no
way to remove records stored to an MTD.

pstore/zone: Provide way to skip "broken" zone for MTD devices

One requirement to support MTD devices in pstore/zone is having a
way to declare certain regions as broken. Add this support to
pstore/zone.

The MTD driver should return -ENOMSG when encountering a bad region,
which tells pstore/zone to skip and try the next one.
