Log message:
	Remove missing flag if PV reappeared and is empty.
	
	When PV device reappears with old metadata, it is
	always updated to new version byt atutomatic metadata
	repair.
	
	Remove missing flag if device is empty.
	
	If device contains allocated extents, issue warning that
	user must remove volumes and re-add this PV before
	manipulating with this volume.
	
	This partially solves bug 547842 when one PV (log) is failed,
	dmeventd removes that device and later this device reappears and
	is wrongly added into VG marked missing.
