block/genhd: Notify udev about capacity change

Allow block/genhd to notify user space (via udev) about disk size changes
using a new helper set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify(), which is a wrapper
on top of set_capacity(). set_capacity_revalidate_and_notify() will only
notify via udev if the current capacity or the target capacity is not zero
and iff the capacity changes.
