Looks good, I have few questions though.

So the debugging benefit of having 'name' here outweighs the (small)
cost of build_dm_name/dm_pool_free?  Really not a big deal but figured
I'd ask.

Also, _add_dev_to_dtree() is the only remaining caller of _info() that
passes 'name'.  Passing a NULL 'name' to _info() from _add_dev_to_dtree()
still allows the testsuite to pass.  What are the benefit(s) of
preserving _info()'s info-by-name fallback for _add_dev_to_dtree()?
