Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when the table is created
instead of when the device is resumed. Writes to the origin device
don't trigger exceptions until each snapshot table becomes active
when resume() is called on each snapshot.
If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update
to lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.
