Log message:
	Mitigate some warnings if running as non-root user.
	
	LVM doesn't behave correctly if running as non-root user,
	there is warning when it detects it.
	
	Despite this, it produces many error messages, saying nothing.
	See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620571
	
	This patch fixes two things:
	1) Removes eror message from device_is_usable() which has no
	information value anyway (real warning is printed inside it).
	
	2) it fixes device-mapper initialization, if we support
	core dm module autoload and device node is present, it should
	fail early and not try recreate existing and correct node.
	(non-root == permission denied here)
	
	N.B. In future code should support user roles, some more
	drastic checks in code are probably contraproductive now.
