Patch originally developed by Jun'ichi Nomura and altered to be cluster
capable.

This patch adds the --forcesync option to lvchange, allowing users
to force mirrors to resynchronize.
This operation is performed by clearing out the log device. It
requires that the mirror be deactivated to do this. If the
mirror is not currently active, the log device is activated, cleared,
and deactivated. If the mirror is currently active, the mirror
is deactivated, the log device is activated and cleared, and the
mirror is reactivated.
If the mirror is in use, it can not be deactivated; and therefore,
can not be forcesynced. This creates a particular anomaly in the
cluster context. If the mirror is active on some nodes in the cluster,
but not the node where the command is issued, the command "succeeds" -
even though the remote nodes maintain the same sync status. I view
this as a bug in the 'deactivate_lv' code, since it should fail if
it is unable to deactivate the lv on all nodes. Comments on this
are welcome.
