In stacked environment where we have a PV layered on top of a
snapshot LV and then removing the LV, lvmetad still keeps information
about the PV:
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/sda
Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ vgcreate vg /dev/sda
Volume group "vg" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m -s vg/lvol0
Logical volume "lvol1" created
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/vg/lvol1
Physical volume "/dev/vg/lvol1" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ lvremove -ff vg/lvol1
Logical volume "lvol1" successfully removed
[0] raw/~ $ pvs
No device found for PV BdNlu2-7bHV-XcIp-mFFC-PPuR-ef6K-yffdzO.
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda vg lvm2 a-- 124.00m 92.00m
[0] raw/~ $ pvscan --cache --major 253 --minor 3
Device 253:3 not found. Cleared from lvmetad cache.
This is because of the reactivation that is done just before
snapshot removal as part of the process (vg/lvol1 from the example above).
This causes a CHANGE event to be generated, but any scan done
on the LV does not see the original data anymore (in this case
the stacked PV label on top) and consequently the ID_FS_TYPE="LVM2_member"
(provided by blkid scan) is not stored in udev db anymore for the LV.
Consequently, the pvscan --cache is not run anymore as the dev is not
identified as LVM PV by the "LVM2_member" id - lvmetad loses this info
and still keeps records about the PV.
We can run into a very similar problem with erasing the PV label directly:
[0] raw/~ $ lvcreate -L32m vg
Logical volume "lvol0" created
[0] raw/~ $ pvcreate /dev/vg/lvol0
Physical volume "/dev/vg/lvol0" successfully created
[0] raw/~ $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/vg/lvol0 bs=1M
dd: error writing '/dev/vg/lvol0': No space left on device

No PV label found on /dev/vg/lvol0.
This patch adds detection of this change from ID_FS_LABEL="LVM2_member"
to ID_FS_LABEL="<whatever_else>" and hence informing the lvmetad
about PV being gone.
