This is a race condition in the way pvmove relies on polldaemon to show
the percentage complete.

Because it is a race condition causing the issue, its going to be
extremely difficult to reproduce reliably, though I believe it may
become more likely with volume groups that have a large amount of
metadata and physical volumes associated, since it is more likely the
steps will take longer.

The patch is just a workaround. The proper way to fix this bug is to use
a signal that informs the polling daemon when the pvmove has been a
success.
