Log message:
	Remove vg_validate call when parsing cached metadata.
	
	vg_validate call is an adept to optimisation, it is very
	ineeficient and slow.
	
	Anyway, we should call it only before writing data to disk.
	
	The call in lvmcache was just temporary validation,
	we realy do not need to revalidate cached metadata
	every time.
	(Actually, I added that there just to prove that cache works
	properly and forgot to remove it.)
	
	Patch removes it from lvmcache completely, this can hit only
	internal bug in export function (and this bug must
	be detected in any vg_write call anyway before).
