  ceph-volume lvm list is O(n^2)

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  ceph-volume lvm calls take too much time and the time grows exponentially.
  A simple call may take several minutes depending on the LV configuration.

  [Test Case]
  1. Create a setup with a large number of disks and logical volumes (e.g. 24)
  2. Call ceph-volume lvm list for one of the disks.
  3. Wait for the call to finish.

  [Regression Potential]
  Patch introduces LV caching, so changing LVs while ceph-volume is running may lead to race conditions.

  [Other Info]
  Original bug description:
   
   * Anything else you think is useful to include
   * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
   * and address these questions in advance

  ceph-volume lvm list calls take very long time due to the fact it has
  been implemented with O(n^2). This leads to unproportionally long
  execution time taking under consideration the fact that no complex
  computation is needed.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a setup with a large number of disks and logical volumes (e.g. 24)
  2. Call ceph-volume lvm list for one of the disks.
  3. Wait for the call to finish.

  Expected result:
  Call is executed within seconds at most.

  Actual result:
  Call may take even minutes in some circumstances (large number of disks, some OSDs stopped).
