Subject: [PATCH parted] libparted: Don't canonicalize /dev/mapper paths

Besides fixing the issue displayed by libparted/tests/symlink.c,
this has the added advantage that the output of parted p on one of these
devices now says:
"Disk /dev/mapper/BigVol2-lv_iscsi_disk2: 34.4GB"

Which is a lot more user friendly then the output before this patch:
"Disk /dev/dm-6: 34.4GB"

* libparted/device.c: Don't canonicalize /dev/mapper paths
