[PATCH RFC 13/22] storage: backend: Add possibility to suppress errors from backend lookup

[Peter Krempa <pkrempa@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Add a new function wrapper and tweak the storage file backend lookup
function so that it can be used without reporting error. This will be
useful in the metadata crawler code where we need silently break if
metadata retrieval is not supported for the current storage type.
