[libvirt] [PATCH 0/8] Resolve some storage and disk backend issues

The following patches resolve a few issues either explicitly generated via a bz or seen while investigating/testing the results from bzs. Patches 1-2 were discovered while working through patch 3. I found that deleting volumes from a pool was always going through the fork processing. I neglected to recall that when the volume was placed into the pool the mode, uid, & gid values can be updated. Thus on some delete paths we may not be called with -1 values. Because we were going through the fork processing I found that the error message displayed when a volume target no longer exists was wrong - that is the caller was expecting a return of -1 and errno being set. In this case looking for ENOENT and continuing on with removal of the volume from the pool. Patch 3 stands by itself - it's certainly one of those that could be deemed don't do that, but since we do check whether the volume was removed without libvirt doing the removal, I guess we should check whether the volume exists before trying to create it and using the refresh pool is the simplest mechanism for all pools. Patches 4-7 are intertwined - the disk backend code made the assumption that the volume/device being used for the pool was "good". The normal mode of operation is to define, build, start, but there's never been a "guarantee" or check that what is "on" the volume is valid for the type of pool Patch 8 was disk backend related - so while I'm in the code, I may as well make the change as well.
