All modern drivers can support extra partitions using the extended
dev_t. In fact except for the ioctl method drivers never even see
partitions in normal operation.
So remove the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT and allow extra partitions for all
block devices that do support partitions, and require those that
do not support partitions to explicit disallow them using
GENHD_FL_NO_PART.

GENHD_FL_CD marks a gendisk as a vaguely CD-ROM like device.
Besides being used internally inside of sunvdc.c an xen-blkfront it
is used by xen-blkback as a hint to claim a device exported to a
guest is a CD-ROM like device. Just check for disk->cdi instead
which is the right indicator for "real" CD-ROM or DVD drivers. This
will miss the paravirtualized guest drivers, but those make little
sense to report anyway.

This is called for every write in the fast path, move it inline next
to get_disk_ro() which is called internally.

Reading the inode size brings in a new cacheline for IO submit, and
it's in the hot path being checked for every single IO. When doing
millions of IOs per core per second, this is noticeable overhead.
Cache the nr_sectors in the bdev itself.

Instead of delaying draining of file system I/O related items like the
blk-qos queues, the integrity read workqueue and timeouts only when the
request_queue is removed, do that when del_gendisk is called. This is
important for SCSI where the upper level drivers that control the gendisk
are separate entities, and the disk can be freed much earlier than the
request_queue, or can even be unbound without tearing down the queue.
Fixes: edb0872f44 ("block: move the bdi from the request_queue to the gendisk")

Most drivers should use and have been converted to use blk_alloc_disk
and blk_mq_alloc_disk. Only the scsi ULPs and dasd still allocate
a disk separately from the request_queue, so don't bother with
convenience macros for something that should not see significant
new users and remove these wrappers.

Pass the lockdep name to the low-level __blk_alloc_disk helper and
hardcode the name for it given that the number of minors or node_id
are not very useful information. While this passes a pointless
argument for non-lockdep builds that is not really an issue as
disk allocation is a probe time only slow path.
