Report internal error when parameters are missing on table load
When some target is passing empty parameters to some dm target,
report this as an internal error to better catch some broken
table construction (some mirror conversions seem to be doing
this for now).
The conditional is not just unnecessary, it would have been wrong. The code
is suppose to be checking if the 'splitmirrors_ARG' is negative, but it
instead is checking 'mirrors_ARG'. Rather than changing the argument being
checked, I've pulled the check entirely because 'splitmirrors_ARG' is already
guarenteed to not be negative by virtue of the fact that it is a 'int_arg'.
Negative values will be caught in _process_command_line().

Fix to preserve exclusive activation of mirror while up-converting.
When an LVM mirror is up-converted (an additional image added), it creates
a temporary mirror stack. The lower-level mirror in the stack that is
created was not being activated exclusively - violating the exclusive nature
of the original mirror. We now check for exclusive activation of a mirror
before converting it, and if found, we ensure that the temporary mirror
is also exclusively activated.
Mirrors used to be created by first creating a linear device and then adding
the other images plus the log. Now mirrors are created by creating all the
images in one go and then adding the log separately. The new way ran into
the condition that cluster mirrors cannot change the log type (in the case
of creation, from core -> disk) while the mirror is not active. (It isn't
active because it is in the process of being created.) The reason this
condition is in place is because a remote node may have the mirror active, and
we don't want to alter the log underneath it.
What we really needed was a way of checking if the mirror was active remotely
but not locally, and in that case do not allow a change of the log. I've added
this check, and cluster mirrors can now be created again.

Add check for library fallback in _deactivate_node.

Disable udev fallback by default and add activation/udev_fallback to lvm.conf.
We've used udev fallback code till now to check whether udev
created/removed the entries in /dev correctly and if not,
a repair was done (giving a warning messagea about that).
This patch adds a possibility to enable this additional check
and subsequent fallback only when required (debugging purposes
mostly) and trust udev completely.
So let's disable the fallback code by default and add a new
configuration option "activation/udev_fallback".
(The original code for creating the nodes will still be used
in case the device directory that is set in lvm.conf differs
from the one that udev uses and also when activation/udev_rules
is set to 0 - otherwise we would end up with no nodes/symlinks
at all)

Fix RHBZ 651590 (failure to lock LV results in failure to repair mirror after
transient error), stemming from the following sequence of events:
1) devices fail IO, triggering repair
2) dmeventd starts fixing up the mirror
3) during the downconversion, a new metadata version is written
--> the devices come back online here
4) the mirror device suspend/resume is called to update DM tables
5) during the suspend/resume cycle, *pre*-commit metadata is read;
however, since the failed devices are now back online, we get back
inconsistent set of precommit metadata and the whole operation fails
The patch relaxes the check that fails in step 5 above, namely by ignoring
inconsistencies coming from PVs that are marked MISSING.

effect. This was also the case with udisks-lvm-pv-export prober which is run

Fix create_temp_name to replace any '/' found in the hostname with '?'.
There's a possibility someone will use the '/' in the hostname. Since we
generate a temporary file name (path) including the hostname, any '/' would
be ambiguous.
We can always set such hostname using 'sethostname' from unistd.h. But the
'hostname' command already includes the check and removes the '/' char.
However, some old versions still allow that.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=711445.
Since this is only a temporary name and the possibility of this error is
quite negligible, we don't need any complex escape sequence here, just a
simple char replace.

Use new dev_open_readonly fn to prevent opening devices for read-write when not necessary.
Before, we used vg_write_lock_held call to determnine the way a device is
opened. Unfortunately, this opened many devices in RW mode when it was not
really necessary. With the OPTIONS+="watch" rule used in the udev rules,
this could fire numerous events while closing such devices (and it caused
useless scans from within udev rules in return).
A common bug we hit with this was with the lvremove command which was unable
to remove the LV since it was being opened from within the udev rules. This
patch should minimize such situations (at least with respect to LVM handling
of devices).
Though there's still a possibility someone will open a device 'outside' in
parallel and fire the event based on the watch rule when closing a device
once opened for RW.
