Subject: [PATCH] skip btrfs subvolumes when detecting ESP partitions
The idea is to find all direct partitions that contain the ESP
mount point and to skip all other transitive `fs:` dependencies.
The `diskdeps.conf` file contains following entries on default Fedora
installations (the list was shortened to only the relevant ones):
```
/dev/vda1 /dev/vda
/dev/vda4 /dev/vda
/dev/vda5 /dev/vda
fs:/boot/efi /dev/vda1
fs:/boot/efi fs:/boot
fs:/boot/efi fs:/
fs:/boot/efi btrfsmountedsubvol:/
fs:/boot /dev/vda4
fs:/boot fs:/
fs:/boot btrfsmountedsubvol:/
fs:/ /dev/vda5
btrfsmountedsubvol:/ /dev/vda5
```
The ESP partition is only on `/dev/vda1`. However, the `find_partition` call
was not taking into account the need to skip mounted btrfs subvolumes as well.
Therefore, `/dev/vda5` was listed as an ESP partition as well.
This change makes sure that only direct ESP partitions are listed and
fixes a bug where ReaR would create broken BootXXXX entries which point to
completely unrelated partitions.
Relevant excerpts from logs:
```
++ efibootmgr --create --gpt --disk /dev/vda --part 1 --write-signature --label 'RedHatEnterpriseServer 41' --loader '\EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi'
...
++ efibootmgr --create --gpt --disk /dev/vda --part 5 --write-signature --label 'RedHatEnterpriseServer 41' --loader '\EFI\fedora\grubx64.efi'
```
