[linux-lvm] Resizing snapshots leaks vmalloc memory

[Stephenson, Dale]

When repeatedly resizing snapshots (both reducing and enlarging), I
eventually would get VMALLOC failures.  Looking at the code, it looks like
when snapshots are resized the old exception table and hash table are never
freed.  A patch to address the problem follows.
