lockd: fix rescanning VG metadata

One host changes a VG, making the cached VG on another
host invalid.  The other host then rereads the VG from
disk to get the latest copy.  If the first host removed
a PV from the VG, the second host attempts to reread the
VG from old PV when rescanning.  Reading the VG from the
removed PV fails, causing vg_read to return "VG not found".
The fix is to simply not fail when a VG is not found while
rereading a PV and continue without it.

(This doesn't happen if the second host happens to first
run a command like 'vgs' that triggers a global revalidation
of metadata.)
