[PATCH] sr: Ensure disk is revalidated when media changes

[Amit Shah]

After the first GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION command, any new media
notification is reset by the device.  The following is then noticed:

1. insert a CD of a particular size
2. mount it
3. note /sys/block/sr0/size
4. unmount cd
5. replace cd with a size greater than previous one
6. mount it
7. /sys/block/sr0/size isn't updated
8. copy all files from cd to somewhere; IO errors will pop up where the
   files lie beyond previous CD's geometry

The cause is:

 cdrom_open()
     open_for_data()
         cdo->drive_status() = sr_drive_status()
             cdrom_get_media_event()
             --> GPCMD_GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION
         --> med.media_present is true, return CDS_DISK_OK
     (success)
 check_disk_change()
    ... -> 2nd call to GPCMD_GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION

at this point the device has already reset the new media event and the
call to revalidate_disk() in check_disk_change() is never made.

All of this is noticed in a qemu-kvm virtual machine where two CD images
are created from two files different in size.

Needless to say this is based on my limited research of the flow of
data and events.  I think sr_ioctl is the best place to handle this
revalidation as that's where the information gets lost.  If there's a
better or a more generic place where this needs to be done, please
point me to it.

Also, qemu upstream doesn't yet support GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION,
I have a scratch implementation that I'm testing against.
