[lvm-devel] [PATCH 2/3] Remove useless memory allocation for pv->vg_name in _alloc_pv().

[Dave Wysochanski]

All this seems to do is provide a memory leak so remove it.
The only caller of _alloc_pv() later explicitly sets
pv->vg_name = fmt->orphan_vg_name so clearly this allocation
should be removed.  I also saw no where in the code where
strncpy was used to assign pv->vg_name - only direct assignments
and strdup's.
