What problem does this solve?

I don't believe this change is correct. The purpose of test_part_dos()
is to determine whether a block device contains an MS-DOS partition table.

Such a partition table is present in an MBR, but not a PBR. A PBR
contains a *FAT file-system, and does not include a partition table.
