A SCSI floppy drive with no disk inserted looks like a normal
/dev/sd*
node, but causes the nbdkit file plugin to fail with ENOMEDIUM. Filter out
such devices altogether -- unlike CD-ROMs (for which we create a device
model in the target, albeit with no medium inserted), empty floppies
should not be converted in any way.
