[PATCH] virDevMapperGetTargetsImpl: quit early if device is not a devmapper target

As suggested in the linked bug, libvirt should firstly check
whether the major number of the device is device mapper major.
Because if it isn't subsequent DM_DEVICE_DEPS task may not only
fail, but also yield different results. In the bugzilla this is
demonstrated by creating a devmapper target named 'loop0' and
then creating loop target /dev/loop0. When the latter is then
passed to a domain, our virDevMapperGetTargetsImpl() function
blindly asks devmapper to provide target dependencies for
/dev/loop0 and because of the way devmapper APIs work, it will
'sanitize' the input by using the last component only which is
'loop0' and thus return different results than expected.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1823976
