Tmpfs is already disable in GUI on master and this patch
also disables it in GUI on rhel7-branch.

The main issue is, that due to the unique properties
of tmpfs, it doesn't really fit to the current
custom partitioning GUI without big changes.

Some of the issues:
* the GUI can't really handle a filesystem that does not
  actually consume any harddrive space
* obviously tmpfs can't reside on RAID or LVM
* there is no way to explicitly create a partition
  of a given filesystem type and creating partition with
  the default filesystem and changing it to tmpfs seems
  wrong
* the same thing for switching a "normal" partition
  to tmpfs

So let's disable it for now in the GUI.
It can be reenabled once the GUI can handle it properly.
