I don't think this is the right fix.  We need to test that it doesn't
prevent vgscan from finding and creating /dev/vg/lv device files outside
of of multipath.

The real fix involves:

  1) omitting the call to vgmknodes if there are no volume groups present
  2) if vgnodes are present, device_mapper/libdm-common.c should determine if 
DM_DISABLE_LIBRARY_FALLBACK should be set in the same way that dmsetup.c does.

I'd much prefer upstream to produce a proper fix.
