Log message:
	Allocate buffer for reporting functions dynamically to support long outputs.
	Fix memory leak of field_id in _output_field function.
	
	There's been a patch added recently to use dynamic allocation for metadata
	tags buffer to remove the 4k limit (for writing metadata out). However, when
	using reporting commands like vgs and lvs, we still need to fix libdm reporting
	functions themselves to support such long outputs. So the buffer used in those
	reporting functions is dynamic now.
	
	The patch also includes a fix for field_id memory leak which was found in
	the _output_field function.
