From: Peter Rajnoha <[email-masked]>

All the dm ioctls that generate uevents set the DM_UEVENT_GENERATED flag so
that userspace knows whether or not to wait for a uevent to be processed
before continuing,  

The dm rename ioctl sets this flag but was not structured to return it
to userspace.  This patch restructures the rename ioctl processing to
behave like the other ioctls that return data and so fix this.
