block: restart partition scan after resizing a device
Device resize via ->set_capacity() can reveal new partitions (e.g. in chained partition table formats such as dos extended parts). Restart partition scan from the beginning after resizing a device. This change also makes libata always revalidate the disk after resize which makes lower layer native capacity unlocking implementation simpler and more robust as resize can be handled in the usual path.
