[PATCH] Don't check if the path exists for LVM

[ebenner <ebenner@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not entirely sure why Libvirt is checking to see if the target file 
exists for LVM but it is a problem. Empty volume groups do not appear in 
/dev. When libvirt starts these pools then fail to autostart because 
their path does not exist. This is not useful, this is the patch we are 
running to resolve this issue.
