The seed namespaces are exposed by the kernel but most operations are
not valid on seed namespaces.

When processing all namespaces the user gets confusing errors from ndctl
trying to process seed namespaces. The kernel does not provide any way
to tell that a namspace is seed namespace but skipping namespaces with
zero size and UUID is a good heuristic.

The user can still specify the namespace by name directly in case
processing it is desirable.

Fixes: #41
