Subject: [PATCH] pvcreate,pvremove: fix reacquiring global lock after prompt

When pvcreate/pvremove prompt the user, they first release
the global lock, then acquire it again after the prompt,
to avoid blocking other commands while waiting for a user
response.  This release/reacquire changes the locking
order with respect to the hints flock (and potentially other
locks).  So, to avoid deadlock, use a nonblocking request
when reacquiring the global lock.
