[sheepdog] [PATCH 2/2] sheepdog: improve error handling for a case of failed lock

Recently, sheepdog revived its VDI locking functionality. This patch
updates sheepdog driver of QEMU for this feature:

1. Improve error message when QEMU fails to acquire lock of
VDI. Current sheepdog driver prints an error message "VDI isn't
locked" when it fails to acquire lock. It is a little bit confusing
because the mesage says VDI isn't locked but it is actually locked by
other VM. This patch modifies this confusing message.

2. Change error code for a case of failed locking. -EBUSY is a
suitable one.
