selftests/ublk: add test for async partition scan

Add test_generic_15.sh to verify that async partition scan prevents
IO hang when reading partition tables.

The test creates ublk devices with fault_inject target and very large
delay (60s) to simulate blocked partition table reads, then kills the
daemon to verify proper state transitions without hanging:

1. Without recovery support:
   - Create device with fault_inject and 60s delay
   - Kill daemon while partition scan may be blocked
   - Verify device transitions to DEAD state

2. With recovery support (-r 1):
   - Create device with fault_inject, 60s delay, and recovery
   - Kill daemon while partition scan may be blocked
   - Verify device transitions to QUIESCED state

Before the async partition scan fix, killing the daemon during
partition scan would cause deadlock as partition scan held ub->mutex
while waiting for IO. With the async fix, partition scan happens in
a work function and flush_work() ensures proper synchronization.

Add _add_ublk_dev_no_settle() helper function to skip udevadm settle,
which would otherwise hang waiting for partition scan events to
complete when partition table read is delayed.
