Subject: remove revalidate_disk()

Hi Jens,

this series removes the revalidate_disk() function, which has been a
really odd duck in the last years. The prime reason why most people
use it is because it propagates a size change from the gendisk to
the block_device structure. But it also calls into the rather ill
defined ->revalidate_disk method which is rather useless for the
callers. So this adds a new helper to just propagate the size, and
cleans up all kinds of mess around this area. Follow on patches
will eventuall kill of ->revalidate_disk entirely, but ther are a lot
more patches needed for that.

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] block: rename bd_invalidated

Replace bd_invalidate with a new BDEV_NEED_PART_SCAN flag in a bd_flags
variable to better describe the condition.

I applied and built everything on Jens's for-next, patch #2 was fuzzy but it
applied.

I checked through everything, the only thing that was strange to me is not
calling revalidate_disk_size() in nvdimm, but since it's during attach you point
out it doesn't matter. You can add
