Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Disks with invalid metadata can cause hangs during cleaning; resulting in stuck deployments.

  [Test Case]
  Initialize a disk with invalid metadata using the '--zap-disk' option.

  [Regression Potential]
  Minimal; already in later Ubuntu releases.

  [Original Bug Report]
  During an Autopilot deployment on gMAAS, Juju had hung running a mon-relation-changed hook

  $ ps afxwww | grep -A 4 [m]on-relation-changed
    29118 ?        S      0:03  \_ /usr/bin/python /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ceph-1/charm/hooks/mon-relation-changed
    37996 ?        S      0:00      \_ /bin/sh /usr/sbin/ceph-disk-prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
    37998 ?        S      0:00          \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/ceph-disk prepare --fs-type xfs --zap-disk /dev/sdb
    38016 ?        D      0:00              \_ /sbin/sgdisk --zap-all --clear --mbrtogpt -- /dev/sdb

  This had been in this state for > 10m. The logs[1] from the unit in
  question showed that something was up with the partition tables on
  that disk.

  I fixed this by hand using gdisk[2]
