fdisk is just scanning everything that it finds in /proc/partitions:

/*
 * for fdisk -l:
 * try all things in /proc/partitions that look like a full disk
 */
static void
print_all_partition_table_from_option(unsigned long sector_size)

This doesn't use the LVM2 filters so will continue to report for all
device-mapper devices when using '-l'.
