Subject: [PATCH] storage: Don't do wait loops from VolLookupByPath

virStorageVolLookupByPath is an API call that virt-manager uses
quite a bit when dealing with storage. This call use BackendStablePath
which has several usleep() heuristics that can be tripped up
and hang virt-manager for a while.

Current example: an empty mpath pool pointing to /dev/mapper makes
_any_ calls to virStorageVolLookupByPath take 5 seconds.

The sleep heuristics are actually only needed in certain cases
when we are waiting for new storage to appear, so let's skip the
timeout steps when calling from LookupByPath.
