See ChangeLog for description.  I'd really like to receive some review on
this one, since the code it touches is so fragile (although I tested it on a
typical setup and it works).

	This fixes a performance issue when pc & gpt partmap iterators
	didn't abort iteration even after our hook found what it was
	looking for (often causing expensive probes of non-existant drives).

	The probe functions relied on previous buggy behaviour, since they
	would rise an error when their own hook (find_func()) caused early
	abortion of its iteration.

	* kern/device.c (grub_device_open): Improve error message.

	* partmap/pc.c (pc_partition_map_iterate): Abort parent iteration
	when hook requests it, independently of grub_errno.
	(pc_partition_map_probe): Do not fail when find_func() caused
	early abortion of pc_partition_map_iterate().

	* partmap/gpt.c (gpt_partition_map_iterate): Abort parent iteration
	when hook requests it, independently of grub_errno.
	(gpt_partition_map_probe): Do not fail when find_func() caused
	early abortion of gpt_partition_map_iterate().
