Subject: [PATCH 1/7] block: export blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part()

This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also
introduce __blkdev_reread_part(), a lockless version.

For some drivers, such as loop, a reread of partitions can be run
from the release path, and bd_mutex may already be held prior to
calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so introduce a lockless
path for use in such cases.
