fdasd: use same retries count (5) within `reread_partition_table` as used by dasdfmt #103

Closed nikita-dubrovskii closed 3 years ago

To install Linux on uninitialized ECKD DASD disk we use dasdfmt for low-level format and than fdasd to create partitions, which sometimes fails with:

fdasd error:  IOCTL error: Error while rereading partition table.

This issue was observed during RHCOS installation on zVM with new DASD
