Osier Yang 59750ed6ea storage: Skip inactive lv volumes
If the volume is of a clustered volume group, and not active, the
related pool APIs fails on opening /dev/vg/lv. If the volume is
suspended, it hangs on open(2) the volume.

Though the best solution is to expose the volume status in volume
XML, and even better to provide API to activate/deactivate the volume,
but it's not the work I want to touch currently. Volume status in
other status is just fine to skip.

About the 5th field of lv_attr (from man lvs[8])
