lvmetad: improve scan for pvscan all

For 'pvscan --cache' avoid using dev_iter in the loop
after the label_scan by passing the necessary devs back
from the label_scan for the continued pvscan.
The dev_iter functions reapply the filters which will
trigger more io when we don't need or want it.  With
many devs, incidental opens from the filters (not controlled
by the label scan) can lead to too many open files.
