parted 2.1 changed the semantics of ped_disk_clobber: it now zeroes out
the first few and last few sectors of the disk, regardless of whether
there appears to be a valid partition table on it. Unfortunately, this
means that creating a filesystem on a whole disk device and then calling
ped_disk_commit_to_dev zeroes the filesystem header we just created. To
avoid this, call ped_disk_commit_to_dev only if the partition doesn't
start at sector zero (LP: #539324, #549260).
