Subject[PATCH] 2 of 2 - Allow O_EXCL on a block device to claim exclusive use.
### Comments for ChangeSet

the blockdev layer has a concept of 'claiming' a device,
so for example it can be claimed when a filesystem is
mounted or when it is included into a raid array.
Only one subsystem can claim it at a time.

This patch matches this functionality available to user-space
via the O_EXCL flag to open.

This allows user-space programs to easily test if a device
is currently mounted etc, and to prevent a device from being
mounted or otherwise claimed.
