Title:
  mkfs fails on interactive input when no partition is used

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Committed
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When an attempt is made to format a block device directly on a cloud
  platform like Azure as below, this attempt fails as follows:

  fs_setup:
    - label: data
      device: /dev/sdc
      filesystem: ext4

  2016-02-23 11:01:50,344 - util.py[WARNING]: Failed during filesystem operation
  Failed to exec of '['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '/dev/sdc', '-L', 'data']':
  Unexpected error while running command.
  Command: ['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '/dev/sdc', '-L', 'data']
  Exit code: 1
  Reason: -
  Stdout: '/dev/sdc is entire device, not just one partition!\nProceed anyway? (y,n) '
  Stderr: 'mke2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)\n'

  It looks like the -F option needs to be added to mkfs.ext4 to force
  mkfs to be non-interactive.
