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.
