vgchange -aay: fall back to dev_cache_scan if optimization fails

Part of the optimization to avoid a full dev_cache_scan requires
translating major:minor numbers to a device name.  If this devno
translation fails, then fall back to doing a full dev_cache_scan
which is slower but certain to provide the info.  This preserves
the most important part of the label scanning optimization in the
vgchange aay (avoiding dev_cache_scan is a relatively small part
of the optimized activation compared to label scanning.)
