block: make partition array dynamic
disk->__part used to be statically allocated to the maximum possible
number of partitions. This patch makes partition array allocation
dynamic. The added overhead is minimal as only real change is one
memory dereference changed to RCU one. This saves both a bit of
memory and cpu cycles iterating through unoccupied slots and makes
increasing partition limit easier.
