libblkid: don't require udev symlinks verification for non-root users
There is noway how to verify LABEL/UUID for non-root users, we have to
follow udev symlinks or use cached information from blkid.tab. Use
unverified symlinks is faster.

mount: move MS_{PROPAGATION,BIND,MOVE} detection
The previous commit does not properly fix the problem with "none"
fstype and MS_{PROPAGATION,BIND,MOVE} flags. The real fstype has to
be replaced with "none" before we try to use /sbin/mount.<type>
helper.
Allow users to set the "none" class on processes. Using the
none class has the distict advantage that the io priority
is inherited from the cpu nice level. Update the man page
to reflect the change.

fdisk: (and cfdisk) fix to be consistent about maximum heads
Fix fdisk and cfdisk to be consistent about maximum heads
Without this patch, fdisk allows up to 256 heads to be set via the menu, but
only up to 255 heads by command line -H. Similarly, cfdisk's -H option also
enforces heads <= 255 instead of heads <= 256.
The strange limit of 256 comes about because (heads - 1) should fit in a
single byte for legacy CHS. Geometries of 256 heads and 32 sectors are seen
in disks from other operating systems where cylinder-aligned partitions
which are also aligned to a 4MB boundary are wanted.

blkid: blkid_do_safeprobe() has to be tolerant to RAIDs
It's pretty generic that RAID signature is on the same device as FS
signature. We have to be tolerant and ignore filesystems signatures
on such devices. The RAID signature is always preferred.

losetup: handle symlinks in /dev/loop/
The loop_scandir() expects all the files in /dev/loop/ to be actual
devices and not symlinks to devices. However, udev by default sets up
symlinks in /dev/loop/ thereby breaking the fallback scan logic when
looking for devices more than the default number of 8.
Simple way to reproduce is:
- <detach all devices>
- cd /dev/loop
- rm -f [2-7]
- losetup 0 autogen.sh
- mv 1 8
- for n in {1..7} ; do ln -s 0 $n ; done
- losetup -f
<error but should have found /dev/loop/8>
[kay.sievers@vrfy.org:
just a note, udev does not do that by default. It is
devfs-nonsense, which the "default" never did.]

lscpu: fix cpuid code on x86/PIC
If we build lscpu as PIE, we currently get a build failure:

chrt: don't assume SCHED_BATCH and SCHED_IDLE exist
SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_RR are part of POSIX 1003.1b Process
Scheduling, so it is correct to assume they always exists.
SCHED_BATCH and SCHED_IDLE are Linux specific, we should not assume
they exists.
Defining SCHED_BATCH and SCHED_IDLE to random values (ie the ones found
on Linux systems) is not an option as they may *collide* with the one of
other systems. For example on GNU/kFreeBSD we have:
#define SCHED_RR 3
and on Linux we have:
#define SCHED_BATCH 3

blkid: remove whole-disk entries from cache when partitions are found
We can get into a situation in blkid where whole disks remain
in the cache, even though partitions are found. For labels
such as sun disklabels which may have the first partition
beginning at sector 0, this is even somewhat likely.
1) create a sun disklabel w/partitions
2) mkfs the first partition (at sector 0)
3) remove the partition table
4) run blkid - this finds the fs on the whole disk, places in cache
5) recreate the partition table
6) run blkid - this finds the partition, places in cache
And now we have both /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 in cache.
There are heuristics in probe_all to avoid putting the whole disk
in cache if it has partitions, but there is nothing to remove the
whole-disk entry in the above case. I think the below patch
suffices, although I haven't quite convinced myself that setting
the lens[which]=0; is the right logic for that bit of state...
