Discussing with Sughosh, here we could update secondary partition with
primary content.
This would prevent us from bricking an update if a power failure
happens before backup (secondary) mdata image is updated.

The code that updates mdata content (patch fwu_gpt_update_mdata() in
patch 03/15) first updates primary partition, then the secondary. It
should be the mandated policy:
1/ ensure secondary content primary content, 2/ update primary 3/
update secondary.
So here, we can safely use the primary if content looks consistent. If
secondary differs from primary, it means the former was not
successfully updated after primary was loaded with new content.
