Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix BLKRRPART regression

The BLKRRPART ioctl used to report errors such as EIO before we changed
the blkdev_reread_part() logic.

Lets add a flag and capture the errors returned by bdev_disk_changed()
when the flag is set. Setting this flag for the BLKRRPART path when we
want the errors to be reported when rereading partitions on the disk.

Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>
Tested: Tested by simulating failure to the block device and will
propose a new test to blktests.
Fixes: 4601b4b130de ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")
