[Drbd-dev] don't use ->bd_inode to access the block device size

Hi Jens,

various drivers currently poke directy at the block device inode, which
is a bit of a mess.  This series cleans up the places that read the
block device size to use the proper helpers.  I have separate patches
for many of the other bd_inode uses, but this series is already big
enough as-is,

I wondered about adding a helper for looking at the size in byte units
to avoid the SECTOR_SHIFT shifts in various places.  But given that
I could not come up with a good name and block devices fundamentally
work in sector size granularity I decided against that.
