Karel Zak 2f2f54c514 volume_id: enable GFS probing code, add LABEL support
* enables GFS/GFS2 probing code (it's disabled now!)

 * adds support for LABELs -- it seems that locktable name is usable as
   a LABEL (at least according to libblkid).

 * removes extra check of sb_header.mh_format -- nothing in kernel and
   blkid checks this superblock entry. It seems that check GFS_MAGIC and
   GFS_METATYPE_SB is enough.

vol_id - probe filesystem and read label and uuid

This program is normally called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
filesystem type of a volume and the label and uuid to name a device node.
vol_id opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline. The following
commandline switches are supported to specify what vol_id should print:
  --export        export key/value pairs
  --type          filesystem type
  --label         filesystem label
  --label-raw     raw label
  --uuid          filesystem uuid
  --skip-raid     don't probe for raid
  --probe-all     find possibly conflicting signatures
  --help

vol_id will only return successful if the string asked for, is not
empty. All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by underscore
and slashes ignored.

To give it a try, you may call it on the commandline:
  $ extras/volume_id/vol_id --export /dev/sda6
  ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
  ID_FS_TYPE=ext3
  ID_FS_VERSION=1.0
  ID_FS_UUID=3e999973-00c9-4917-9442-b7633bd95b9e
  ID_FS_LABEL=devel
  ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=devel

  $ extras/volume_id/vol_id --label /dev/sda6
  devel

  $ extras/volume_id/vol_id --type /dev/sda6
  ext3
