[U-Boot] [U-Boot, PATCH 1/1] mmc: emmc and hw partitions partition table id bugfix.

On bootup the emmc's hw partition is always set to 0 and the partition 
table is read from it. When switching to another hw partition the 
partition table's id is not updated but instead the old one from 
hw partition 0 is used. If there is no partition table on hw partition 0
then the code will terminate and return error even if the desired hw 
partition contains a perfectly fine partition table. This fix updates 
the partition table struct to correspond to the specified hw partition 
before testing if the partition table is valid or not.
