pvscan: consistent creation of pvs_lookup file

Consistently create the pvs_lookup file for VGs with
more than one PV.  Previously the file create would be
skipped if all the PVs happened to already be online.
That led to unpredicatable results in an uncommon case
(when the last PV to come online is the only PV with
metadata.)
