block: add a partscan sysfs attribute for disks

commit a4217c6740dc64a3eb6815868a9260825e8c68c6 upstream.

Userspace had been unknowingly relying on a non-stable interface of
kernel internals to determine if partition scanning is enabled for a
given disk. Provide a stable interface for this purpose instead.
