Failure to reread partition tables on non-busy devices

This patch (almost certainly wrong BTW) makes it work. Obviously,
somewhere there should be a call to invalidate_bdev(); that doesn't exist.
I'm not sure A) where that call should be and B) what checks there should
be to avoid calling invalidate_bdev() on a device that is busy.
