block: Do not reread partition table on exclusively open device
commit 36369f4 upstream. Since commit 10c70d9 ("block: remove the bd_openers checks in blk_drop_partitions") we allow rereading of partition table although there are users of the block device. This has an undesirable consequence that e.g. if sda and sdb are assembled to a RAID1 device md0 with partitions, BLKRRPART ioctl on sda will rescan partition table and create sda1 device. This partition device under a raid device confuses some programs (such as libstorage-ng used for initial partitioning for distribution installation) leading to failures. Fix the problem refusing to rescan partitions if there is another user that has the block device exclusively open.
