[ndctl patch] zero_info_block: skip seed devices

[Jeff Moyer]

Currently, ndctl destroy-namespace -f all will output errors of the
form:

  Error: destroy namespace: namespace0.0 failed to enable for zeroing, continuing

for any zero-sized namespace.  That particular namespace looks like this:

  {
    "dev":"namespace0.0",
    "mode":"raw",
    "size":0,
    "uuid":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    "sector_size":512,
    "state":"disabled"
  }

This patch skips over namespaces with size=0 when zeroing out info
blocks.
