[dm-devel] [PATCH] Do not wait for event on device without table.

[Milan Broz]

If there is DM device with no table present, do not
try to wait for change event. Otherwise it can
wait forever and block already removed device.

Simple reproducible:
  dmsetup create x --notable
  dmsetup wait x 0 &
  dmsetup remove x

Now it waits for device, which is no longer accesible through dm-ioctl.
