[Bug 1441930] [NEW] Fix handling of multipathed disks with 4k-sectors

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

The packages for libparted and kpartx don't have the patches for using
device-mapper (multipath/LVM) on 4k-sector disks (generally: 'non
512-byte sector disks')

This causes the number of sectors of each device-mapper partition to be 1/8th (512/4096) of that expected.
These 3 errors were identified:
1) Partition sizes on multipath/LVM are 1/8th of the intended size 
2) The filesystem on the underlying device is not-accessible (only in the dm mapped device)
3) grub-install fails w/ 'Unknown filesystem'

The 2 patches attached contains upstream patches from parted and
multipath-tools, and fix the issues (the installation finishes without
errors and the system boots).

** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu)
