    GoodnessWeigher schedules non-type volumes

    If the GoodnessWeigher is configured to be the only active weigher within
    the scheduler, it cannot schedule a non-typed volumed for creation. This
    patch adds a safety assignement to the weigher stats generation to allow
    for scheduling untyped volumes.

    This patch safely assigns a dictionary data-type to "volume_type" in the
    event that:

        weight_properties = {
            "volume_type": None,
            etc..
        }

    Volumes created with a volume-type will not cause an exception and will
    be scheduled with the volume-type and back-end as configured.
