[PATCH v2] makedevs: Do not return error if the fifo exisits

[Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com>]

This ensures that makedevs will not cause image creation failures
when it encounters a pipe (fifo) that exists from a previous image.
This handles mode changes and it will correctly fail for dangling
symlinks.
