pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes
/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more obviously be tuned with a mount option. Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
