> Make the following changes to partition check code.
>
> * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.
>
> * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
> read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
> instead of @bdev.
>
> * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
> functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.
>
> * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.
>
> This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
> during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
> much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
> paths.
