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

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

[Saul Wold]

This ensures that makedevs will not cause image creation failures
when it encounters a pipe (fifo) that exists from a previous image.
The other file/device creation code either ignore this error or check
for file type.

Will this do the right thing if the mode has changed from the old to the
new versions?

Ya, I'm happy with this.  It avoids recreating it if it exists.. no error.

No idea if a warning is reasonable in this case, but I'm happy with the change.
