Which concrete problem does this fix?  At initramfs stage only required
devices (holding /, /usr, the resume device, or those explicitely marked
‘initramfs’) are unlocked and we *do* need to activate LVs in order to
mount these.  So it's unclear to me what's the benefit of checking
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf is — and a misconfigured LVM configuration file could
lead to an unbootable system with this patch no?
