block: export diskseq in sysfs

Add a new sysfs handle to export the new diskseq value.
Place it in <sysfs>/block/<disk>/diskseq and document it.

    $ grep . /sys/class/block/*/diskseq
    /sys/class/block/loop0/diskseq:13
    /sys/class/block/loop1/diskseq:14
    /sys/class/block/loop2/diskseq:5
    /sys/class/block/loop3/diskseq:6
    /sys/class/block/ram0/diskseq:1
    /sys/class/block/ram1/diskseq:2
    /sys/class/block/vda/diskseq:7

+Description:
+		The /sys/block/<disk>/diskseq files reports the disk
+		sequence number, which is a monotonically increasing
+		number assigned to every drive.
+		Some devices, like the loop device, refresh such number
+		every time the backing file is changed.
+		The value type is 64 bit unsigned.
