[dm-devel] [PATCH v5 1/3] dm: export a table+mapped device to the ioctl interface

From: Will Drewry <wad at chromium.org>

If a mapped device and table is configured without traversing the dm-ioctl
interface (dm-fs-style), then it will not be bound to a name or uuid. This
means that it will be inaccessible for userspace management and udev
will be unhappy with the lack of a name or uuid.

The function added in this change performs the required association to
transition to being managed by the ioctl interface.
