The check does not work properly (crashes) with netfs filesystems and
also checking that a device is not empty when attempting to mount a
filesystem is not very usefull since the mount will fail anyways.
As the code would improve only a very minor corner case I don't really
see a reason to have this code at all.
This code would also fail if libvirt is compiled without support for
blkid and without parted.
This reverts commit a11fd69735e6951cda9bf256d8e423696a441aa4.
