Log message:
	Fix for bugs: 612248 & 612291 Split mirror issues
	
	The main problem with these bugs was that the newly split
	off LV was not being suspended properly.  This meant that
	the memlock count was not being balanced, the DM devices
	were not being renamed, and some DM devices which should
	have been removed were not.
	
	I've also renamed some of the variables and added comments
	to make things clearer as to what is going on.  (I can break
	this patch in two if it means easier review.)

 Version 2.02.71 -
 ===============================
+  Fix suspend/resume logic for LVs resulting from splitting a mirror.
   Switch cmirrord and clvmd to use dm_create_lockfile.
   Allow clvmd pidfile to be configurable.
   Update comments about memory handling in lvm2app.h.
