[PATCH] Add persistent log for 'pvmove --atomic'

[Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com>]

Hi,

Please be aware that in order to get around udev rules that prevent LVs
beginning with "pvmove*" from creating FS accessible links, I
temporarily rename the log device in order to wipe it of signatures and
initialize the log.  The name is currently "visible_pvmove_log".

pvmove: Add persistent log to atomic pvmove

A persistent log allows atomic pvmoves to track their progress.  If a
deactivation happens for any reason, the move will pick-up where it
left off the last time.  The log is added after the pvmove mirror is
constructed but before the move begins.  If the creation of the log
fails for any reason (no space, metadata write failure, activation
failure, etc) the log is removed if necessary, a warning is printed,
and the pvmove proceeds.  The pvmove is fine to proceed without a
persistent log and the warning reminds the user that progress is not
tracked and that deactivation would result in starting over.  A
'pvmove --abort' at any point (whether the log was created or not)
cleans up the pvmove and restores the LVs to their former state.
