dm snapshot: only take lock for statustype info not table
Take snapshot lock only for STATUSTYPE_INFO, not STATUSTYPE_TABLE.
Commit 4c6fff445d7aa753957856278d4d93bcad6e2c14
(dm-snapshot-lock-snapshot-while-supplying-status.patch)
introduced this use of the lock, but userspace applications using
libdevmapper have been found to request STATUSTYPE_TABLE while the device
is suspended and the lock is already held, leading to deadlock. Since
the lock is not necessary in this case, don't try to take it.
