Osier Yang d26b73ca2b storage: Skips backingStore of virtual snapshot lv
lvs outputs "[$lvname_vorigin]" for the virtual snapshot lv
(created with "--virtualsize"), and the original device pointed
by "$lvname_vorigin" is just for lvm internal use, one should
never use it.

Per lvm's nameing rules, "[" is not valid as part of the vg/lv name.
(man 8 lvm).

VALID NAMES
The following characters are valid for VG and LV names: a-z A-Z 0-9 + _
. -

VG and LV names cannot begin with a hyphen.   There  are  also  various
reserved  names that are used internally by lvm that can not be used as
LV or VG names.  A VG cannot be called anything that exists in /dev/ at
the time of creation, nor can it be called '.' or '..'.  A LV cannot be
called '.' '..' 'snapshot' or 'pvmove'. The LV name may also  not  con‐
tain the strings '_mlog' or '_mimage'

So we can skip the set the lv's backingStore by checking if the name
begins with a "[".
