The cow begins life as a real LV.
There is no way to distinguish it from other LVs.
Changing that means changing the "create a snapshot" process into a single
LVM2 metadata transaction (or a pair of related transactions). Currently it's
two independent transactions - creating a new, empty LV; creating a snapshot
using that LV. Doing that would allow us to back out the change properly if
it's aborted too.
