storage: don't read storage volumes in nonblock mode

Browse Source 
Commit 348b4e2 introduced a potential problem (thankfully not
in any release): we are attempting to use virFileReadHeaderFD()
on a file that was opened with O_NONBLOCK.  While this
shouldn't be a problem in practice (because O_NONBLOCK
typically doesn't affect regular or block files, and fifos and
sockets cannot be storage volumes), it's better to play it safe
to avoid races from opening an unexpected file type while also
avoiding problems with having to handle EAGAIN while read()ing.

Based on a report by Dan Berrange.

* src/storage/storage_backend.c
(virStorageBackendVolOpenCheckMode): Fix up fd after avoiding race.
