Subject: [PATCH] block: don't add or resize partition on the disk with
GENHD_FL_NO_PART

Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl") remove disk_expand_part_tbl() in add_partition(), which means all kinds of devices will support extended dynamic dev_t.
However, some devices with GENHD_FL_NO_PART are not expected to add or resize partition.
Fix this by adding check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART before add or resize partition.

Fixes a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl")
