blk_get_device_by_str was skipping part_init when hw partition 0 was selected because it is the default. However, this caused issues when switching to a non-zero partition and then back to partition zero, as stale data from the wrong partition was returned.

Remove this optimization and call part_init regardless of the selected partition.
