Description of problem:
Anaconda doesn't stop when running a kickstart installation on a system with an LDL DASD disk.
Since LDL disks are not supported during installation, anaconda should not use them and let the user to proceed through the storage spoke manually (in case of vnc/text installation), or stop the installation in case of cmdline UI mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.6
anaconda-21.48.22.147-1.el7
python-blivet-0.61.15.72-1.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. format one DASD with LDL (dasdfmt -d ldl -b 4096 /dev/dasdX)
2. run a kickstart installation, use the LDL disk and the following partitioning section:

bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart


Actual results:
anaconda used the LDL DASD during the installation

Expected results:
anaconda should stop (in cmdline UI mode), or allow the user to go through the storage spoke manually (in vnc/text UI mode).
