[PATCH] block: annotate bdev_disk_changed() deprecation with a symbol namespace

[Luis Chamberlain]

Instead of relying on fragile documentation which can easily let us
slip, use a symbol namespace to annotate which symbols should not be
used by others.

This ensures no other users pop up by mistake easily and provides
us a with an easy vehicle to do the same with other routines should
we need it later.
