[PATCH][aws] UBUNTU: SAUCE: blkfront: add uevent for size change

From: Marc Olson <marcolso at amazon.com>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683878

When a blkfront device is resized from dom0, emit a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent to
notify the guest about the change. This allows for custom udev rules, such
as automatically resizing a filesystem, when an event occurs.
