[PATCH 1/3] Tools: hv: vssdaemon: consult with errno in case of failure only

[Vitaly Kuznetsov]

If ioctl() return 0 there is no point in examining errno and
it can actually produce misleading output. In case there was
no failure errno will contain the error code for previous failure
so user will see the following in the log:
 Hyper-V VSS: VSS: freeze of /mnt/udf: Operation not supported
 Hyper-V VSS: VSS: freeze of /: Operation not supported

We should also log errors with LOG_ERR instead of LOG_INFO.
