[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/2] libmultipath: check if user_friendly_name is in use

If there are multipath devices that have user_friendly_names but do not
have their bindings in the bindings_file, get_user_friendly_alias() can
currently give out those names again. This can result in an incorrect
entry in the bindings file, and a device that gets created with a WWID
alias instead of a user_friendly_name. This situation can happen after
the pivot root, if a multipath device is created in the initramfs.  If
this device doesn't have a binding in the regular filesystem
bindings_file and a new multipath device is created before it can add
its binding, the new device can steal that user_friendly_name during
multipathd's initial configure.

To solve this, get_user_friendly_alias() now calls lookup_binding() with
a new paramter, telling it to check if the id it found is already in use
by a diffent device. If so, lookup_binding() will continue to check open
ids, until it finds one that it not currently in use by a dm device.
