[PATCH] libdisk: use major/minor when calling dmsetup

In RH bugzilla,
[Bug 471102] Error message seen during mkfs.xfs on multipath device
(unfortunately marked private) reports problems when making xfs
fileystems on multipath devices:
# mkfs -t xfs -f /dev/mpath/oramp4
dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/dm-12 not found
Command failed
dm_task_set_name: Device /dev/dm-12 not found
Command failed
meta-data=/dev/mpath/oramp4 isize=256 agcount=4, agsize=2359680 blks
...
This is because dmsetup takes a "name" which is sometimes, but not
always (I think) the same as the device name.
dmsetup also can take major/minor as arguments, so this may be
simpler at this point.
