bug#16231: [PATCH 2/9] libparted: remove old partitions *first* before adding new ones

[Phillip Susi]

"libparted: avoid disturbing partitions" put the remove of the old
partition in second pass.  If you simultaneously removed partitions 1
and 2, and created a new partition #1 that overlapped the previous second
partition, the sync would fail because it would try to create the new,
larger partition #1 before removing the old partition #2.
