[PATCH 01/30] block: also call ->open for incremental partition opens

For whole devices ->open is called for each open, but for partitions it
is only called on the first open of a partition, e.g.:

  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - 2 call to ->open

  open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - 2 call to ->open

  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
  open("/dev/vdb", ...)
    - just open call to ->open

This is problematic as various block drivers look at open flags and
might not do all the required setup if the earlier open was with an
odd flag like O_NDELAY or the magic 3 ioctl-only open mode.
