Subject: [PATCH] block: Don't reread partitions of disk which already mouted.

If reread partitions of disk, the paths are:
blkdev_ioctl->blkdev_reread_part->rescan_partitions->drop_partitions
->invalidate_partition->__invalidate_device
In func __invalidate_device, if disk already mounted, it will do
shrink_dcache_sb and invalidate_inodes.
This operation will effect the fs.
So add a judgement before doing rescan_partiontions to judge disk
whether mounted.
