[PATCH v3 3/4] scsi: Adjust return value for virStorageBackendSCSINewLun

[John Ferlan <jferlan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Use virStorageBackendPoolUseDevPath API to determine whether creation of
stable target path is possible for the volume. If not, then return failure.

This will differentiate a failed virStorageBackendStablePath which won't
need to be fatal. Thus, we'll add a -2 return value to differentiate that
the failure was a result of either the inability to find the symlink for
the device or failure to open the target path directory
