In order to prevent scan partition for a device that is opened
exclusively by someone else, new conditions will be added to
disk_scan_partitions() in the next patch. Hence if device is opened
exclusively between bdev_add() and disk_scan_partitions(), the first
partition scan will fail unexpected. This patch factor out the setting
of GD_NEED_PART_SCAN to prevent the problem.

I'd rather leave the setting of GD_NEED_PART_SCAN in disk_scan_partitions()
to keep it self-contained. On top of that we can set GD_NEED_PART_SCAN in
device_add_disk() to ensure initial partition scan but we should probably
also make sure flags like GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN or GENHD_FL_NO_PART are not
set to avoid unwanted partition scanning.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll remove this patch and do that in patch 3
in the next version.

Thanks,
Kuai
