Better return busy message, so even clients fail in more controlled way. Without patch, clvmd crashes with various strange backtraces if under heavy load of connection requests. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698393 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697945 (It still can OOM but that's different issue.)
