sysinfo: Ignore "hidden" sysfs device entries

Some devices are "hidden" from userspace due to various
reasons. One reason is native nvme multipathing, where the
path devices do not present a device node to the user but
only exposes the stacking device as the only nvme device.
Still there are sysfs attributes for these hidden devices, but
we should ignore them altogether because these are not "real"
devices at all.
