parted/libparted-use-BLKRRPART-only-when-needed.patch

Subject: libparted: dasd: Use BLKRRPART only when needed
References: bsc#1065197, bsc#1067435
Patch-mainline: no, upstream dropped proper DASD support

The BLKRRPART ioctl is required due to limitations of the DASD
disk layout. We use it always for those devices right now but when
adding or removing a partition at the end, then it is enough to use
the BLKPG* ioctls. The problem with BLKRRPART occurs when one of the
first partitions is busy. BLKRRPART touches all partitions and the
parted command fails in this case.
So detect that situation and use BLKRRPART only when needed instead.
