Yes, it's because of the genhd revalidate rework done by Al Viro in the block device revalidation path. The problem is that we need to run a disk revalidate early on in sd bringup to get all the necessary information ... the gendisk code then does a disk revalidate to read the partition table, resulting in the two identical sets of messages being printed. The best fix anyone could suggest was to try to suppress the messages of the first one using some sort of per scsi_disk flag ... however, no-one's very keen on this approach.
