fix(ha): resolve data disk device via by-id symlink even in dry-run

The by-id lookup is read-only so it's safe to run in dry-run mode.
Previously it was gated behind `if ! $DRY_RUN`, which always triggered
the sdb fallback warning in dry-run — making it look like the device
path wasn't reliable when the symlink actually exists on both servers.

Now the lookup always runs and the script errors out with a clear message
if the by-id symlink is genuinely missing, instead of silently falling
back to a guessed /dev/sd* name.
