pmbootstrap 3.0.0 uses GPT partition table by default, which breaks booting
on all the devices using the lk2nd bootloader. The current version of lk2nd
supports GPT only for the eMMC, while subpartitions and SD cards must be
partitioned with MBR. GPT support was present in the legacy branch of
lk2nd, but was dropped at some point because of poor code quality.
Fix the regression for now by reverting back to the old msdos (MBR)
partition table. We can revert this again later when lk2nd restores support
for GPT.

[ci:skip-build]: bug in CI prevents build testing armv7 and aarch64, so
Clayton did the test locally for those archs
Commit fe54a7be4 ("device/msm8916*: Generate extlinux.conf (MR 4826)")
updated most users of msm8916 kernel to generate extlinux.conf.
Unfortunately the commands used to bulk-make changes only affected
aarch64 users of the kernel package and armv7 users were missed.
Apply the same changes to all armv7 users of msm8916 kernel too.
