[lvm-devel] [PATCHv3 2 of 2]LVM: allow exclusive snapshots in cluster

Thanks to those who've given feedback so far.
I've gone with a suggestion to add new functions rather that use enum's
or defines as the return values.
This patch iteration attempts to avoid the extra network operation that
took place for cluster VGs - even when it wasn't needed most times.
I have noticed a couple curious things while testing:
A) the exclusive flag on an LV is lost after the following operations:
1) lvchange -aey vg/lv
2) lvcreate -s -n snap vg/lv
3) lvremove vg/snap
4) lvcreate -s -n snap vg/lv - fails because lv is !EX
I don't think this is a result of the changes I've made, but an oddity
that has not been discovered yet.
B) 'vgchange -ay' returns success on only one node (as mbroz
highlighted) when there are snapshots in a cluster because only one node
can activate all the LVs. The other LVs on the remaining nodes still
activate properly.

Allow snapshots in a cluster as long as they are exclusively
activated.
In order to achieve this, we need to be able to query whether
the origin is active exclusively (a condition of being able to
add an exclusive snapshot).
