If dm_hold_control_open() isn't set, when dm_lib_release() is called, it
will close the control fd. The control fd will get re-opened on the next
dm_task_run() call, but if there is a dm_task_run() call already
in progress in another thread, it can fail. Since many of the
device-mapper callouts happen with the vecs lock held, this wasn't too
noticeable, but there is code that calls dm_task_run() without the
vecs lock held, notably the dmevent waiter code.
Since, as Martin pointed out, dm_hold_control_open() hasn't always
existed in libdevmapper, check if it's supported on compilation,
and update the version requirements if so.
