Summary

The prior code mistakently thought that the g_consumer that hung off the
provider we found were the right thing to use to find all the glabel
aliases for this node. However, the only way to find that is to iterate
through all the geoms that belong to the glabel geom class, looking for
those geoms with the same name as the provider with the right efimedia.
Do this in a way that caches glabel class, and allows for it to be
absent. Tighten the filter for mounted filesystems to only look
for the ones that are mounted on /dev/.. since the rest of the code
assumes that.

This fixes the path returned in abspath. However, it doesn't fix what's returned in dev. You can demonstrate by doing something like efivar -Op 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-Boot0014. That will print the partition name instead of the label name.

fix the answer on more cases.

Well, that depends on what's mounted. And it is a correct answer, but I'll grant it's not the most correct answer.
If nothing's mounted, it's right, for example.

We update *dev too early. I've updated the diff to take that into account.

Updated, please let me know if this works for your tests... It's passing all I can throw at it.

Also, yes, this tells me I need to bite the bullet and write regression tests in atf

The hard part of *THAT* is generating UUIDs that are the same every run... which is why I've not done it yet...
