Okay, attached patch sets the flag on the original volume definition,
and makes sure we have the pool lock when we do so. This should address
the above (and DV's) comments.

    Implement non-pool-blocking volume allocation for FS volumes.
    
    We setup the volume object, then drop the pool lock, and start the actual
    storage allocation. Certain pool operations will be blocked (start, stop,
    destroy, refresh), but the basic things like volume listings will still work.
    
    This also allows storage allocation progress reporting: the API user can
    watch the volume object in a separate thread, polling it's 'info' for
    update to date capacity/allocation reporting.
