[resend v1 1/5] block/genhd: Notify udev about capacity change

[Balbir Singh]

Allow block/genhd to notify user space (via udev) about disk size changes
using a new helper disk_set_capacity(), which is a wrapper on top
of set_capacity(). disk_set_capacity() will only notify via udev if
the current capacity or the target capacity is not zero.
