UDF label change since commit 2f2730bc77c9

Hi,

we have noticed that since commit 2f2730bc77c9 "libblkid: udf: Fix reading
LABEL, add support for UUID and other udf identifiers" some volumes have
changed labels which are reported by blkid. See [1] for an example. This is
because that commit changed what is used for the label - previously we have
used 'ident' in the Primary Volume Descriptor, and after that commit we use
Logical Volume ID.

I think it would be better to keep consistency with older util-linux
releases (e.g. valid /etc/fstab that uses labels may be broken by this
change) but I'm not sure whether there is a point once the new behavior
has been released in the util-linux release. But still I wanted to raise
this since I'm not sure how much util-linux cares about these changes and
also so that people are aware of the change...
