genhd: Annotate all part and part_tbl pointer dereferences

Annotate gendisk.part_tbl and disk_part_tbl.part dereferences with
rcu_dereference_protected(). This patch does not change the behavior
of the modified code but ensures that sparse does not complain about
disk->part_tbl manipulations nor about part_tbl->part accesses.
Additionally, improve documentation of the locking requirements of
the modified functions.
