This series contains a number of fixes for various recent issues with
multipath-tools. The starting point was a use-after-free issue reported on
GitHub [1]. The actual fixes for that are 02/21 and 06/21. Because this
Patches 3-12 generally rework the freeing of maps, trying to avoid unexpected
freeing of paths while freeing multipath structures.

Because this changes memory handling in multipathd, I ran a set of tests to
make sure the series doesn't open up new memory leaks. The good news is that I
haven't found any, except some trivial ones (15/21, 16/21). But I did see one
minor issue related to libudev [2]. After I found a warning in the libudev man
page about the library not being thread-safe, I suspected that this might be
causing the leak, and came up with code wrapping all libudev calls with a
mutex (18/21, 19/21).  Unfortunately it didn't fix the observed leak, but I
suppose it's still useful because multipathd is using libudev in a way that
the authors of the library explicitly dismiss as unsupported.

The release of cmocka 2.0 [3] necessitated rather large-ish adaptations in our
unit test code (20/21, 21/21).

Finally 13/21 and 17/21 are bug fixes; in particular the latter is rather nasty.
