Fixed handling of short reads in readdisklabel() and writedisklabel().
These functions use DEV_STRATEGY() which can easily return a short
count (with no error) for reads near EOF.  EOF happens for "disks" too
small to contain a label sector (mainly for empty slices).  The functions
didn't understand this at all, and looked for labels in the garbage
in the buffer beyond what DEV_STRATEGY() returned.  The recent UMA
changes combined with my local changes and configuration resulted in
the garbage often containing a valid but garbage label left over from
a previous call.

Bugs in EOF handling in -current limited the problem to "disks" with
size precisely LABELSECTOR sectors.  LABELSECTOR happens to be a very
unusual "disk" size since it is only 0 for non-i386 arches that don't
usually have disks with DOS MBRs.
