Brief description of the changes in this pull request:
A TCG Opal pre-boot authentication (PBA) system is a minimal operating system constructed by ReaR to unlock self-encrpyting disks before the regular OS takes over. Before this PR, it could happen that a previously created PBA was included in a subsequently created PBA, causing it to be unnecessarily large.
