Solves issue #689. Attribute Error.'None type' has no attribute 'format' ...

It seems the system does not syncronus update its internal information after a partitioning.
Two places are affected. Directly on filesystem.add_partition (the uuid of the new partition isn't available after the parted command)
and blockdevice.get_partition, where the list of partitions for the iterator might not be available in the query.
The patch places both sections under controlled loops, giving the system the chance to update the information.
Should be more controlled via application parameters
