Commit 4601b4b130de ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")
lost the propagation of I/O errors from the low-level read of the
partition table to the user space caller of the BLKRRPART.
Apparently some user space relies on, so restore the propagation. This
isn't exactly pretty as other block device open calls explicitly do not
are about these errors, so add a new BLK_OPEN_STRICT_SCAN to opt into
the error propagation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
