qemuPrepareNVRAM: Don't attempt to create NVRAM on block device

Browse Source 
'virFileRewrite()' which is used to setup the NVRAM image if it doesn't
exist or when it is requested by the user forcibly replaces the
destination file by the file it creates. For block devices this
overwrites the device node file or the symlink pointing to the device
node by a regular file instead of formatting it.

As this not only makes the VM fail to start but also breaks user's /dev/
filesystem forbid it for now.
