libdm: do not add params for resume and remove

DM_DEVICE_CREATE with table is doing several ioctl operations,
however only some of then takes parameters.
Since _create_and_load_v4() reused already existing dm task from
DM_DEVICE_RELOAD it has also kept passing its table parameters
to DM_DEVICE_RESUME ioctl - but this ioctl is supposed to not take
any argument and thus there is no wiping of passed data - and
since kernel returns buffer and shortens dmi->data_size accordingly,
anything past returned data size remained uncleared in zfree()
function.

This has problem if the user used dm_task_secure_data (i.e. cryptsetup),
as in this case binary expact secured data are erased from main memory
after use, but they may have been left in place.

This patch is also closing the possible hole for error path,
which also reuse same dm task structure for DM_DEVICE_REMOVE.
