Christoph Hellwig 659e56ba86 block: add a new revalidate_disk_size helper
revalidate_disk is a relative awkward helper for driver use, as it first
calls an optional driver method and then updates the block device size,
while most callers either don't need the method call at all, or want to
keep state between the caller and the called method.

Add a revalidate_disk_size helper that just performs the update of the
block device size from the gendisk one, and switch all drivers that do
not implement ->revalidate_disk to use the new helper instead of
revalidate_disk()

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
