Subject: [PATCH 73/89] libparted: don't canonicalize /dev/md/ paths (#872361)
This is the same issue we have with /dev/mapper/ paths that was fixed in
commit c1eb485b9fd8919e18f192d678bc52b0488e6ee0. When libparted
is used to setup the device the symlink should be used to reference it,
not the backing device name which could change.
* libparted/device.c (ped_device_get): Don't canonicalize names
that start with "/dev/md/".

** Bug Fixes
+ libparted: /dev/md/ symlink can change after libparted dereferences it,
+ instead it should just use the symlink as given by the caller in the
+ same way we do with /dev/mapper/.
+
libparted: On multipath systems new partitions would sometimes not
appear, reporting 'device-mapper: create ioctl failed: Device or
resource busy' until the system was rebooted. Added dm_udev_wait
