From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx>
dm_mapname is called while holding the vecs lock, and shouldn't
sleep. All callers handle a NULL return value.
This code dates back to the initial commit creating multipathd,
66b457b ("[multipathd]") from 2005. I am pretty certain that the comment
"device map might not be ready when we get here from uevent trigger"
doesn't hold any more (if it has ever been true). Perhaps the early
code acted on "add" events for maps, which would indeed not necessarily
have been set up. On the actually relevant "change" events, the map
name has to be set.
