This patch fixes the situation with i386-pc where grub-probe &
grube-setup are searching for the root fs for grub files and they
happen to be on the same file system as the root ("/") filesystem. If
this is the case if when probing /dev , if the partition is a sd* it
will not find it because it will find /dev/root first (this is a
mistake).
