[PATCH] Fix devfs' partition handling

From: Andre Landwehr <andre.landwehr@gmx.net>

with / on an IDE harddisk the disks partitions do not appear in
devfs, only the disc device. This is due to rescan_partitions
being called twice and deleting but not re-creating the entries
during the second call.

hch has acked this.
