  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.
