[1/5] block: export disk_class and disk_type for btrfs

Commit Message

Btrfs can make filesystem cross several disks/partitions, in order to
load all the disks/partitions which belong to the same filesystem, we
need scan the system and find all the devices, and then register them
into the kernel. Currently, we do it by user tool. But if we forget to
do it, we can not mount the filesystem. So I want btrfs scan the system
and find all the devices by itself in the kernel. In order to implement
it, we need disk_class and disk_type, so export them.
