[dm-devel] [PATCH V3 04/18] multipath: make devt2devname use lstat to check

[Benjamin Marzinski]

dm_reassign wasn't working correctly for me because devt2devname used stat()
to check if /sys/dev/block/major:minor was a symlink.  But stat() never returns
a symlink, if follows it. It needs to use lstat() instead.  Also, I made
multipath log a message when a dm device gets reassigned to use multipath.
