[PATCH 1/1] multipath-tools: Skip CHANGE uevent for non-mpath devices

[Ritika Srivastava <ritika.srivastava@xxxxxxxxxx>]

On removal of lv device snapshot using lvremove, CHANGE uevent and REMOVE uevent is generated for the dm device.
When multipath tries to process the CHANGE uevent, it is not able to find the dm/map name and
returns 1 due to which the following error is printed
"uevent trigger error"
This scenario is not actually an error and is misleading.

To fix it, the proposal is to only process the change uevent in multipath for a multipath device.
