Fixes Coverity issue,
      CID 1419883:  Error handling issues  (CHECKED_RETURN)
           Calling "qemu_uuid_parse" without checking return value

nvdimm_set_uuid() already verifies if the user provided uuid is valid or
not. So, need to check for the validity during pre-plug validation again.

As this a false positive in this case, assert if not valid to be safe.

From https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Testing.html#g-assert

The macro can be turned off in final releases of code by defining G_DISABLE_ASSERT when compiling the application, so code must not depend on any side effects from expr.

This looks like bad pattern example.
