dm: add name and uuid to sysfs

Implement simple read-only sysfs entry for device-mapper block device.

This patch adds a simple sysfs directory named "dm" under block device
properties and implements
	- name attribute (string containing mapped device name)
	- uuid attribute (string containing UUID, or empty string if not set)

The kobject is embedded in mapped_device struct, so no additional
memory allocation is needed for initializing sysfs entry.

During the processing of sysfs attribute we need to lock mapped device
which is done by a new function dm_get_from_kobj, which returns the md
associated with kobject and increases the usage count.

Each 'show attribute' function is responsible for its own locking.
