Hi

This patch fixes a bug introduced in 2.6.31-rc1. Targets that define 
iterate_devices and don't contain any devices (such as dm-loop in fsio) 
don't work.

Fix reverse logic in device_area_is_valid

->iterate_devices method calls the callback for every underlying device
in the target. If the callback returns non-zero, iterate_devices exits
and returns this value. If the callback returns zero for all the devices,
iterate_devices returns zero.

The logic to check for invalid device areas was reversed.
device_area_is_valid returned 0 on error and 1 on success.

Thus:
- error was returned only if all the devices vere errorneous. If some of them
  returned 1 (success), dm_calculate_queue_limits understood this as success.
- if the target had no device (the example is dm-loop target in FSIO mode),
  iterate_devices returned error straight away and dm_calculate_queue_limits
  understood this as an error.

This patch reverses the logic so that 0 means success and 1 means error.
