[PATCH 2/4] partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method

* Add ->set_capacity block device method and use it in rescan_partitions()
  to attempt enabling native capacity of the device upon detecting the
  partition which exceeds device capacity.

* Add GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY flag to try limit attempts of enabling
  native capacity during partition scan.

Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in
ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area
(HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.
