[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/8] libmultipath: cleanup add_feature

add_feature() didn't correctly handle feature strings that used
whitespace other than spaces, which the kernel allows. It also didn't
allow adding features with multiple tokens. When it looked to see if the
feature string to be added already existed, it didn't check if the match
was part of a larger token. Finally, it did unnecessary work.  By using
asprintf() to create the string, the function can be signifcantly
simplified.
