Subject: [PATCH] blkid: optimize dm_device_is_leaf() usage

 * devname.c: probe_one(): call dm_device_is_leaf() with *constant*
   devno argument in the list_for_each_safe loop does not make sense at
   all.

 * devname.c: probe_one(): call dm_device_is_leaf() for already
   checked DM devices is unnecessary. DM devices are already checked
   in dm_probe_all(). The dm_probe_all() function never returns slave
   devices.

 * devname.c: dm_device_is_leaf(): stop checking for dependences when
   a first dependence is detected.

Performance test:

  # for i in $(seq 1 100); do dmsetup create $i --table "0 1 zero"; done

 new version:

  # blkid &> /dev/null

  real    0m0.267s
  user    0m0.047s
  sys     0m0.212s

 old version:

  # blkid &> /dev/null

  real    0m2.149s
  user    0m0.291s
  sys     0m1.820s
