Ming Lei 63dfbcd59b ublk: scan partition in async way 
[ Upstream commit 7fc4da6a30 ]

Implement async partition scan to avoid IO hang when reading partition
tables. Similar to nvme_partition_scan_work(), partition scanning is
deferred to a work queue to prevent deadlocks.

When partition scan happens synchronously during add_disk(), IO errors
can cause the partition scan to wait while holding ub->mutex, which
can deadlock with other operations that need the mutex.

Changes:
- Add partition_scan_work to ublk_device structure
- Implement ublk_partition_scan_work() to perform async scan
- Always suppress sync partition scan during add_disk()
- Schedule async work after add_disk() for trusted daemons
- Add flush_work() in ublk_stop_dev() before grabbing ub->mutex

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 reStructuredText 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.
