I don't understand how this is making any difference. The method
virStorageBackendProbeTarget can return 0, -1 or -2, so

    virStorageBackendProbeTarget < 0  catches the -1 and -2 cases
    virStorageBackendProbeTarget != 0 catches the -1 and -2 cases

I only see this change making a difference if one of the error return values
is a positive integer greater than 0, but we don't have that here. What am
I missing ?
