Subject: [PATCH 1/2] libparted: check PMBR before GPT partition table
(#805272)
The UEFI spec requires that a valid GPT disk label have a PMBR
partition. This moves the PMBR check to before the GPT check,
exiting gpt_probe with a 0 if the PMBR is not valid.
The previous behavior would cause problems in the following situation:
1. format a disk as GPT
2. re-format it as MSDOS using tools that don't understand GPT
Subsequent operations with parted would then complain about the invlid
PMBR, but would not allow the disk to be used as a msdos disk. This
change causes parted to tread the disk as a msdos disk.
* libparted/labels/gpt.c (gpt_probe): Move _pmbr_is_valid test
