Utilize the exit status parameter for virCommandRunRegex in order to check the return error from the 'iscsiadm --mode session' command. Without this enabled, if there are no sessions running then virCommandRun would have displayed an error such as: 2016-05-13 15:17:15.165+0000: 10920: error : virCommandWait:2553 : internal error: Child process (iscsiadm --mode session) unexpected exit status 21: iscsiadm: No active sessions. It is possible that for certain paths (when probe is true) we only care whether it's running or not to make certain decisions. Spitting out the error for those paths is unnecessary. If we do have a situation where probe = false and there's an error, then display the error from iscsiadm if it's there; otherwise, default to the non descript error.
