[dm-devel] dm_table_put_md to mirror dm_table_get_md

[Edward Goggin]

Alasdair,

This patch adds the module exported symbol dm_table_put_md to allow a
module function to release a mapped device's table structure after
calling dm_table_get_md.  I've got another patch coming which uses both
dm_table_get_md and dm_table_put_md in order to retrieve a dm mapped
device's name attribute to pass to multipath hardware handler for the
enhancement of event logging messages.
