libdm: improve parallel create of control node
When two parallel commands would have tried to create our /dev/mapper/control node at the same time, one of them could actually fail even if the 2nd. command actually mknod() this control node correctly. So for EEXIST case add detection if the control node is ok. This may possibly help with some race case in early boot.
