Patch for SCSI CD-ROM getting wrong size

Hi, All:

Here's the problem. Try to do this on 2.6.12:
- Kill udev and HAL
- Insert a CD-ROM into a SCSI or USB CD-ROM drive
- Run dd if=/dev/scd0
- cat /sys/block/sr0/size
- Eject the CD, insert a different one
- Run dd if=/dev/scd0
This is likely to do "access beyond the end of device", if you let it
- cat /sys/block/sr0/size
This shows the size of a previous CD, even though dd was supposed
to revalidate the device.
- Run dd if=/dev/scd0
The second run of dd works correctly!

The bug was introduced in 2.5.31, when Al fixes the recursive opens
in partitioning. Before, the code worked like this:
- Block layer called cdrom_open directly
- cdrom_open called sr_open
- sr_open called check_disk_change
- check_disk_change called sr_media_change
- sr_media_change did cd->needs_disk_change=1
- before returning sr_open tested cd->needs_disk_change
  and called get_sector_size.

In 2.6.12, the check_disk_change is called from cdrom_open only. Thus:
- Block layer calls sr_bd_open
- sr_bd_open calls cdrom_open
- cdrom_open calls sr_open
- sr_open tests cd->needs_disk_change, which wasn't set yet; returns
- cdrom_open calls check_disk_change
- check_disk_change calls sr_media_change
- sr_media_change does cd->needs_disk_change=1, but nobody cares

I propose this patch:

It looks obvious that "needs_sector_size" is entirely unnecessary in 2.6,
because our opening sequence is much streamlined now. It made sense
in 2.4 only.

Al, James, do you approve?
