[PATCH 1/2] virdevmapper: Don't error on kernels without DM support

[Michal Privoznik]

In one of my latest patch (v6.6.0~30) I was trying to remove
libdevmapper use in favor of our own implementation. However, the
code did not take into account that device mapper can be not
compiled into the kernel (e.g. be a separate module that's not
loaded) in which case /proc/devices won't have the device-mapper
major number and thus virDevMapperGetTargets() and/or
virIsDevMapperDevice() fails.
