[Laszlo Ersek]

A system with multiple VMGENID devices is undefined in the VMGENID spec by
omission.

Notes:
    v2:
    - use find_vmgenid_dev() rather than open-code
      object_resolve_path_type() [Michael]
    - add comments to both the definition of find_vmgenid_dev() and its call
      site in vmgenid_realize() [Michael]
