genhd: expose AN to user space

Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of
media changes.  This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags",
which is documented in (insert file name).  This sysfs file will export all
disk capabilities flags to user space.  We also define a new flag to define
the media change notification capability.

+===============================================================================
+This file documents the sysfs file block/<disk>/capability
+
+capability is a hex word indicating which capabilities a specific disk
+supports.  For more information on bits not listed here, see

+Capability				Value

+GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY		4
+	When this bit is set, the disk supports Asynchronous Notification
+	of media change events.  These events will be broadcast to user
+	space via kernel uevent.
