[PATCH] partitions/efi: treat size mismatch as a warning, not an error

[Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>]

In (27a7c64 partitions/efi: account for pmbr size in lba) we started
treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the 0xEE
(GPT protective) as errors.  However, we may run into these "bad
sizes" in the real world if someone uses dd to copy an image from a
smaller disk to a bigger disk.  Since this case used to work (even
without using force_gpt), keep it working and treat the size mismatch
as a warning instead of an error.
