Prevent core dump with non-existent or invalid command line named device (#756434) 

Naming a non-existent or invalid disk device on the command line causes
GParted to dump core.  Non-existent device looks like this:

    # ./gpartedbin /dev/does-not-exist
    ======================
    libparted : 2.4
    ======================
    Could not stat device /dev/does-not-exist - No such file or directory.
    Could not stat device /dev/does-not-exist - No such file or directory.

    Assertion (dev != NULL) at device.c:227 in function ped_device_open() failed.
    Aborted (core dumped)

And with an invalid device the output looks like this:

    # ./gpartedbin /dev/zero
    ======================
    libparted : 2.4
    ======================
    The device /dev/zero is so small that it cannot possibly store a file system or partition table.  Perhaps you selected the wrong device?
    Error fsyncing/closing /dev/zero: Invalid argument

Bisected the cause to this commit from 2015-03-09 in GParted 0.22.0.  It
claimed to make no functional change.  That turned out not to be true.

    Split get_device_and_disk() into two (#743181)

Fix by simply adding the missed if condition in get_device().
