This means that this 94.22% was once used. LVM knows when guest uses 
block first time, and allocates it at this omoment, but does not knows 
when it is freed in guest. You need to enable discard both in disk 
config on host and on filesystem in guest (via mount option of FS, or 
regulary run fstrim or its analog in your guest OS) to free space on 
host's LVM level.
