[PATCH] block: check disk flag before setting scan bit

[Jie Wang]

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.
