Here we just prepare for the following patch, making possible to report
GenericError as recommended.

This patch doesn't aim to prevent further use of DeviceNotFound by
future interfaces:

 - find_device_state() is used in blk_by_qdev_id() and qmp_get_blk()
   functions, which may lead to spread of DeviceNotFound anyway
 - also, nothing prevent simply copy-pasting find_device_state() calls
   with false argument
