partprobe: remove partitions when there is no partition table
When partprobe detects no partition table on a device, it should
tell the kernel to drop partitions on that device, but it did not.
* parted/partprobe.c (process_dev): When ped_disk_probe fails,
create a dummy (empty) partition table and use that.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
