As block/direct volume use similar steps of device adding,
so making full use of block volume code is a better way to
handle direct volume.

DirectVolume and get_volume_mount_info to parse mountinfo.json
from the direct volume path. That's to say, direct volume needs
the help of `kata-ctl direct-volume ...`.
