libparted: give correct partition device name on loop labels

ped_partition_get_path() was returning "/dev/foo1" instead of
"/dev/foo" on loop labels.  This caused gparted to run tools like mkfs on
a device node that did not actually exist.

 ** Bug Fixes
 
+  libparted: ped_partition_get_path() was returning "/dev/foo1" instead
+  of "/dev/foo" for loop labels.
+
   partprobe: when called on a disk that has become a loop label,
   remove any partitions left over from a previous label.
