Set default label for XFS disks

As described, we want to set the default label for XFS disks to the
shorter value.

For example, you hit this when setting the old FS_TYPE environment
variable to 'xfs' (which sets the "root-fs-type" parameter, which gets
passed through to 'type'; but does not set a default label).
