Refer to the UEFI spec 2.8, Section 13.3.2:
A block device should be scanned as below order:
1. GPT
2. ISO 9660 (El Torito) (UDF should aslo be here)
4. MBR
5. no partition found

But the code implementation is:
1. GPT
2. MBR
3. ISO 9660 (El Torito) (UDF)
4. no partition found

Which would cause the ISO 9960 image with MBR info be treated as MBR
device. That would cause unexpect behavior. So fix it to follow the spec
description.

The fix of the PartitionInstallChildHandle would change the boot behavior
of Linux ISO image with MBR table. So add it after the order adjustment
to make no impact of the boot.
