Warn if pvmove --abort detect lost temporary device.

pvmove --abort never remove device not referenced in metadata.
But if something bad happened, it is possible that temporary device
is present in kernel and can interfere with subsequent pvmove
(at least there is name collision).

Warn user, that system is in inconsistent state. I would prefer
not forcibly remove device here (and I found no easy and clean way
how to do it without lvm layer violation:-)
