I've already tried to add some initial recovery support for error path.

If you take a look into the upstream libdm-deptee code - there is already
dnode->activated  list for recovery path - which track just newly introduced
devices.

The problem is however much more complicated - it should work as transaction,
since multiple device may get changed - and all changes should be
reverted properly.

There is postprocessing routine which should cleanup any left
empty entries in the table.

I'm currently working on more generic solution.
