Merge it upstream first and we can talk. Until then please don't waste
our time.

No need to scan partitions for disk who has set flag GENHD_FL_NO_PART in driver code. In disk_scan_partitions function, the same checking is existing, so we believe this change is reasonable. In our case, some virtual block devices are not managed by GPT, then scan partition operation is not a must. So we set GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag in driver intended to avoid partitions being dropped/added. But GD_NEED_PART_SCAN bit was still set by bdev_check_media_change, which causing problems here.
