A recent feature of LVM2 is the "devices file" <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/lvmdevices.8.html>. It speeds up LVM2 PV discovery on a normal system, but an old devices file in a converted domain (with different hardware) can prevent the assembly of volume groups. In particular, when converting a physical system to a guest with virt-p2v, the original system will have used "sys_wwid"-type identifiers in the LVM2 devices file, and those are guaranteed not to match any virtio-blk disks in the output domain. We've seen a similar issue in the past under RHBZ#1164853, so just extend the same scrubbing with the new pathname.
