Inside of virSCSIHostFindByPCI() there's a loop which iterates of
entries of "/sys/class/scsi_host" directory trying to identify
all symlinks (which then point to a SCSI device, but that's not
important right now). But the way virFileIsLink() is called can
never return a truthful reply - because it's called over
dent->d_name instead of full path. Fix this by moving the
virFileIsLink() call and passing constructed path into it.

Functionally speaking, this is just a micro-optimization. If you left it out completely, the ResloveLink would copy the path and we would move on to the next entry when strstr fails to find the parent address. In theory. In practice, /sys/class/scsi_host/ probably contains nothing else but symlinks. Feel free to drop the virFileIsLink call completely. Jano
