[Bug 1809932] [NEW] [Bionic] gparted fails to shrink LVM PV with lvm2 >= 2.02.172

[Thomas Ward]

Public bug reported:

This is technically a duplicate of #1779292, however that only affects
Cosmic.

This issue now impacts Bionic as well, because we are on LVM2 >=
2.02.171.

There appears to be a patch on #1779292 that can be used to fix this
issue, perhaps this can be applied as an SRU to Bionic for GParted?  It
is otherwise impossible to resize a LVM PV with GParted on 18.04.

(Importance set to High to match the other bug's importance).

All other details and test cases in the other bug are identical.  It was
only fixed in Cosmic, and not addressed in Bionic.

** Affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
