creatingfilesystem: Refine the condition where a FS is needed

Browse Source 
For example, a swap partition does not contain any FS.  And, if you want
to clone a partition, you can use

    dd if=/dev/<old-partition> of=/dev/<new-partition>

then it's unnecessary to create a FS on new-partition before operation.
This is sometimes faster than creating a new FS, mounting both
partition, then "cp -av" if the old-partition contains many small files.
