block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device. The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can. This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the next ->check_events() invocation. This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from userland - e.g. with eject(1). Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint can be boolean @flush.
