block: Remove annoying "unknown partition table" message

As Christoph put it: Can we just get rid of the warnings? It's fairly annoying as devices without partitions are perfectly fine and very useful. Me too I see this message every VM boot for ages on all my devices. Would love to just remove it. For me a partition-table is only needed for a booting BIOS, grub, and stuff.
