[PATCH 1/6] block: export blkdev_reread_part()

[Ming Lei]

This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also
introduce blkdev_reread_part_no_lock().

For some drivers, such as loop, reread partition can be run
from release path, and the bd_mutex has been held already before
calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so this patch introduces
blkdev_reread_part_no_lock() too for this requirment.
