I just realize that the DM_NOSCAN part of the patch isn't wrong, but
pointless. Unlike DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG, DM_NOSCAN is not
set by earlier rules. Only in 11-dm-lvm.rules, but that doesn't touch
multipath devices.

I do think that our use of DM_NOSCAN is inconsistent with what the LVM
rules do, but that's a different issue.

Thanks,
Martin
