[PATCH 12/14] Make dm_test_device() accept /dev/dm-x being a dev node

Description: Testing with dm devices was failing on Ubuntu because
 /dev/dm-X is the actual device node, but the code wanted it to be
 a symlink.  Fixed dm_test_device() to test that the file ( or node
 it points to ) is a block device, which seems a much more
 appropriate test.
