[Impact]

Due to a upstream bug blkid is unable to detect exfat partitions. This breaks proper detection and automount of exfat formatted partitions (e.g. SD cards or USB sticks) in Ubuntu 14.10.

[Test Case]

Insert an exfat formatted SD Card (card is neither detected nor automounted)
or
run as root: blkid [partition]

[Regression Potential]

None known, the bugfix is simple and part of already released upstream stable release (2.25.2).
