A crude bug fix that would prevent the erroneous error message.

Description of problem:

pvmove relies on polldaemon.c:_wait_for_single_lv() to read the
percentage complete on the mirror that is used to do the pvmove.
However, the mirror goes away sometimes while this program is running,
presumably in between init_full_scan_done(0) and locking the volume
group. This would appear to be a race condition, so it only happens
sometimes.

When the problem occurs, a user gets something like this printed out:

  /dev/sde1: Moved: 99.6%
  ABORTING: Can't find mirror LV in homedirs for /dev/sde1

This is very confusing, as the user may think that the pvmove operation
failed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.02.54, code appears similar in 2.02.67

How reproducible:

As this is a race condition, it does not always happen. However users
have reported it happening with enough frequency to cause alarm as the
error message

Steps to reproduce:

assuming /dev/sdb has two equal sized partitions of at least 10G

Setup:
pvcreate /dev/sdb1
pvcreate /dev/sdb2
vgcreate test /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
lvcreate -L 9G -n t1 test /dev/sdb1

Then repeat these in an alternating manner:

pvmove -i1 /dev/sdb1
pvmove -i1 /dev/sdb2

It may take many iterations to reproduce the race, or it may never reproduce it, as other factors may be necessary to make it more likely (such as many more physical volumes).
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

I would expect that if the pvmove completes successfully, that pvmove
would show that fact rather than abort.

  Spurious abort message after successful pvmove

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lvm2

  lvm2 2.02.39-0ubuntu11 on Karmic.  pvmove sometimes issues a spurious
  error message at the end of a successful move.  To wit:

  Despite the scary-looking abort message, the source PV is 100% free
  and can be removed from the VG.
