The parted itself creates a new device-mapper mapping that represents
the partition. Then it's like any other device-mapper device and so
the /dev content is created by 10-dm-disk.rules (the /dev/mapper
content) and 13-dm-disk.rules (the /dev/disk content).

Parted has this functionality integrated so there's no need to call
kpartx in addition.
