Word "context" is very generic and it is widely used various things, and
I believe we should try to avoid overloading this term and obfuscating
the I/O stack with various functions and other identifiers like
"get_context()". This would hurt readability. It is fine to use it
withing the UFS-specific code, but not globally withing the kernel code.
I do not really have good name candidates, but even "ufscontext" is
already better than just "context". Or "iocontext" ? Or just "ufsdata" ?
