[libvirt] [PATCH] storage_backend_fs.c: do not ignore probe failure

When virStorageBackendProbeTarget fails, it returns -1 or -2.
The two uses below obviously intended to handle those cases
differently, but due to a wrong comparison, they always treated a
"real" (e.g., open) failure (-1) just like an ignorable "wrong file type"
failure (-2).

FYI, coverity reported that the "goto cleanup" statement was
unreachable, which was true in each case, but hardly the real problem.

Subject: [PATCH] storage_backend_fs.c: do not ignore probe failure

* src/storage/storage_backend_fs.c (virStorageBackendFileSystemRefresh):
Correct two error-handling bugs.  The documented intent is to ignore
non-regular files, yet due to a comparison "< 0" (rather than "!= 0")
all errors were handled that way.

(vboxStorageVolDelete): Likewise.
(vboxDomainDefineXML): Likewise.
