[PATCH 2/2] partitions: efi: Fix MAX_PARTITION check

The GPT partiton parser has a check which should check if the GPT has
more partitions than we support. This doesn't work because the loop
iterating over the partitions exits with a maximum i of MAX_PARTITION,
i > MAX_PARTITION will never be true. Fix the check.
