You don't really need ^this check, do you? Once the path exists,
virFileResolveLink is going to handle it gracefully.
Reviewed-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet(a)redhat.com> (but I'd wait with pushing
until after the release)
Pushed now that the release is out. And agreed waiting until after the release
was best since there are other callers of virNetDevGetPCIDevice() that could be
affected - although I did check those and they seem fine.
