This hurts in particular in udev rules, when multipath -u or multipath -U is invoked, but also for command line invocations like "multipath -ll". This series provides a few optimizations for this use case. It speeds up simple multipath operations in the test case by a factor of 20. Changes wrt v1, after suggestions from Benjamin Marzinski: 01, 02: Use pointer comparisons to achieve stable sorting with qsort 02: Fix return without popping the cleanup handler. The way I fixed this leaves the possibility that some memory won't be freed if a thread is killed while executing vector_convert(). I think this is acceptible; avoiding it would complicate the code, with very small benefit. 02: Remove unnecessary checks and break loop if alias==NULL is encountered.
