For dm devices, kpartx uses an UUID check at partition removal to make sure it only deletes partitions it previously created. Non-DM parent devices such as loop devices don't generally have a UUID. Introduce a "fake" UUID for these devices to make sure kpartx deletes only devices it had created previously. Otherwise kpartx might e.g. delete LVM LVs that are inside a device it is trying to delete partitions for. It seems to be wiser to make sure the user delete these manually before running "kpartx -d". With the fake UUID in place, we can re-introduce the UUID check for non-DM device that was removed in the earlier patch "kpartx: dm_remove_partmaps: support non-dm devices". This disables also deletion of partition mappings created by earlier versions of kpartx. If kpartx has been updated after partition mappings were created, the "-f" flag can be used to force delting these partitions, too.
