LVM2 ./WHATS_NEW libdm/libdm-deptree.c

Log message:
	Use early udev synchronisation and update of dev nodes for clustered mirrors.
	
	When using clustered mirrors, we need device nodes to be created during
	processing of device tree, not at its end like we normally do (we need to
	access the nodes in cmirror prematurely). Therefore we use a new flag called
	"immediate_dev_node" stored in deptree's load_properties struct to instruct the
	device tree processing code to immediately synchronize with udev and flush all
	stacked node operations so the nodes are prepared for use.
	
	For now, the immediate_dev_node is used for clustered mirrors during
	processing the dm_tree_preload_children code only. We can add more later if
	needed.

 Version 2.02.68 -
 ===============================
+  Use early udev synchronisation and update of dev nodes for clustered mirrors.
   Unneeded kdev_t.h reference causing harm for cmirrord on some archs.
   Add man pages for lvmconf and unsupported lvmsadc and lvmsar tools.
   Fix exit code when requesting help using documented -o help option.
