From: Martin Wilck <mwilck at suse.com>

It can happen in particular during boot or startup that we encounter
paths as map members which haven't been discovered or fully initialized
yet, and are thus not in the pathvec. These paths need special treatment
in various ways. Currently this is dealt with in disassemble_map(). That's
a layer violation, and the way it is done is suboptimal in various ways.

As a preparation to change that, this patch introduces a new function,
update_pathvec_from_dm(), that is supposed to deal with newly discovered
paths from disassemble_map(). It has to be called after disassemble_map()
has finished.

The logic of the new function is similar but not identical to what
disassemble_map() was doing before. Firstly, the function will simply
remove path devices that don't exist - there's no point in carrying these
around. Map reloads can't be called from this code for reasons of the
overall program logic. But it's prepared to signal to the caller that
a map reload is in order. Using this return value will be future work.

Second, pathinfo() is now called on new paths rather than just setting
pp->dev. The pathinfo flags can be passed as argument to make the function
flexible for different callers.

Finally, treatment of WWIDs is different now. There'll be only one attempt
at guessing the map WWID if it's not set yet. If a non-matching path WWID
is found, the path is removed, and a new uevent triggered (this is the
most important change wrt the dangerous previous code that would simply
overwrite the path WWID). If the path WWID is empty, it will still be
set from the map WWID, which I consider not perfect, but no worse
than what we did before.
