bug#16231: [PATCH 6/9] partprobe: do not skip loop labels

[Phillip Susi]

Partprobe was not syncing loop labels.  This resulted it failing to remove
existing partitions when switching to a loop label.

 ** Bug Fixes
 
+  partprobe: when called on a disk that has become a loop label,
+  remove any partitions left over from a previous label.
+
   libparted: The loop label represents an unpartitioned disk, but creates
   a dummy partition to represent the whole disk.  This dummy partition
   was actually being loaded into the kernel.  Don't do that.
