Jonathan Brassow ca51435153 Misc/RAID: Enable resume_lv to handle some renaming conflicts.
When images and their associated metadata are removed from a RAID1 LV,
the remaining sub-LVs are "shifted" down to fill the gaps.  For
example, if there is a 3-way mirror:
	[0][1][2]
and we remove device#0, the devices will be shifted down
	[1][2]
and renamed.
	[0][1]

This can create a problem for resume_lv (specifically,
dm_tree_activate_children) during the renaming process though.  This
is because it will attempt to rename the higher indexed sub-LVs first
and find that it cannot because there are currently other sub-LVs with
that name.  The solution is to check for a conflicting name before
attempting to rename.  If a conflict is found and that conflicting
sub-LV is also in the process of renaming, we can defer the current
rename until the conflicting sub-LV has renamed and cleared the
conflict.

Now that resume_lv can handle these types of rename conflicts, we can
remove the workaround in RAID that was attempting to resume a RAID1
LV from the bottom-up in order to force a proper rename in assending
order before attempting a resume on the top-level LV.  This "hack"
only worked for single machine use-cases of LVM.  Clearing this up
paves the way for exclusive activation of RAID LVs in a cluster.
