dm: keep old table until after resume succeeded
When swapping a new table into place, retain the old table until its replacement is in place. An old check for an empty table is removed because this is enforced in populate_table(). __unbind() becomes redundant when followed by __bind(). Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
