[dm-devel] [PATCH 2 of 2] dm log userspace, fix table status output

This patch fixes up the arguments that get printed when a
STATUSTYPE_TABLE request is issued.

We keep a copy of the arguments passed to userspace for
creating a log, just in case we need to resend them.  These
are the same arguments that are desired in the
STATUSTYPE_TABLE request, except for one.  When creating
the userspace log, the userspace daemon must know the size
of the mirror, so that is appended onto the arguments given
in the constructor table.  We were printing this extra
argument out as well, which is a mistake.
