dm-flakey can be used to emulate IO write error, however, when
we also need to prevent the IO error for a specific range of the
block device (eg., the log region of a XFS), we need to specify
multiple dm targets for the dm device.

Option --table can not accommodate the multiple dm targets case,
so let dmsetup get the possible-multiple-targets table from
standard input.
