register_disk() suppress uevents for devices with the GENHD_FL_HIDDEN
but enables uevents at the end again in order to announce disk after
possible partitions are created.

When the device is removed the uevents are still on and user land sees
'remove' messages for devices which were never 'add'ed to the system.

  KERNEL[95481.571887] remove   /devices/virtual/nvme-fabrics/ctl/nvme5/nvme0c5n1 (block)

Let's suppress the uevents for GENHD_FL_HIDDEN by not enabling the
uevents at all.

With the removal of the skd driver, using IRQ safe locking of a bdev
bd_size_lock spinlock to protect the bdev inode size is not necessary
anymore as there is no other known driver using this lock under an IRQ
disabled context (e.g. calling set_capacity() with IRQ disabled).
Revert commit 0fe37724f8e7 ("block: fix bd_size_lock use") which
introduced the IRQ safe change.

Commit 52f019d43c22 ("block: add a hard-readonly flag to struct gendisk")
provides some kernel-doc for set_disk_ro(), but introduces a small typo.

Hence, make htmldocs warns on ./block/genhd.c:1441:

  warning: Function parameter or member 'read_only' not described in 'set_disk_ro'
  warning: Excess function parameter 'ready_only' description in 'set_disk_ro'

Some block device drivers, e.g. the skd driver, call set_capacity() with
IRQ disabled. This results in lockdep ito complain about inconsistent
lock states ("inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -&gt; {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage")
because set_capacity takes a block device bd_size_lock using the
functions spin_lock() and spin_unlock(). Ensure a consistent locking
state by replacing these calls with spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_lock_irqrestore(). The same applies to bdev_set_nr_sectors().
With this fix, all lockdep complaints are resolved.
