[dm-devel] [PATCH 1/8] libmultipath: cleanup remove_feature

remove_feature() didn't correctly handle feature strings that used
whitespace other than spaces, which the kernel allows. It also didn't
check if the feature string to be removed was part of a larger feature
token. Finally, it did a lot of unnecessary work. By failing if the
feature string to be removed contains leading or trailing whitespace,
the function can be significanly simplified.
