block: check_events: don't bother with events if unsupported
Drivers now report to the block layer if they support media change events. If this is not the case, there's no need to allocate the event structure, and all event handling code can effectively be skipped. This simplifies code flow in particular for non-removable sd devices. This effectively reverts commit 75e3f3ee3c64 ("block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implemented"). The sysfs files for the events are kept in place even if no events are supported, as user space may rely on them being present. The only difference is that an error code is now returned if the user tries to set poll_msecs.
