[PATCH v4 1/6] block: Add vfs_msg() interface

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxxx>]

In preparation of moving DAX capability checks to the block layer
from filesystem code, add a VFS message interface that aligns with
filesystem's message format.

For instance, a vfs_msg() message followed by XFS messages in case
of a dax mount error may look like:

  VFS (pmem0p1): error: unaligned partition for dax
  XFS (pmem0p1): DAX unsupported by block device. Turning off DAX.
  XFS (pmem0p1): Mounting V5 Filesystem
   :

vfs_msg() is largely based on ext4_msg().
