After the rework from commit 1ebe2e5f9d ("block: remove
GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT"), when calling device_add_disk(), dcssblk will end up
in disk_scan_partitions(), and not break out early w/o GENHD_FL_NO_PART.
This will trigger implicit open/release via blkdev_get/put_whole()
later. dcssblk_release() will then deadlock on dcssblk_devices_sem
semaphore, which is already held from dcssblk_add_store() when calling
device_add_disk().
dcssblk does not support partitions (DCSSBLK_MINORS_PER_DISK == 1), and
never scanned partitions before. Therefore restore the previous
behavior, and explicitly disallow partition scanning by setting the
GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag. This will also prevent this deadlock scenario.
