Subject: [PATCH -next v2] block: fix wrong mode for blkdev_get_by_dev() from disk_scan_partitions()

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

After commit 2736e8eeb0cc ("block: use the holder as indication for
exclusive opens"), blkdev_get_by_dev() will warn if holder is NULL and
mode contains 'FMODE_EXCL'.

holder from blkdev_get_by_dev() from disk_scan_partitions() is always NULL,
hence it should not use 'FMODE_EXCL', which is broben by the commit. For
consequence, WARN_ON_ONCE() will be triggered from blkdev_get_by_dev()
if user scan partitions with device opened exclusively.

Fix this problem by removing 'FMODE_EXCL' from disk_scan_partitions(),
as it used to be.
