Actually I think this patch is wrong because the check for
dev->bid_flags & BLKID_BID_FL_VERIFIED should also be removed. E.g.
BID_FL_VERIFIED should be set but check should be only diff <
BLKID_PROBE_MIN. Otherwise if once this flag is set either due to proper
revalidation or because not enough time has elapsed then it will never
be reset, because the device will never be freed.
