6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> commit 140ce28dd3bee8e53acc27f123ae474d69ef66f0 upstream. Add a helper to check if partition scanning is enabled instead of open coding the check in a few places. This now always checks for the hidden flag even if all but one of the callers are never reachable for hidden gendisks.
