Subject: [PATCH] Allocate LVM metadata buffer from raw contents

The size reserved for on disk LVM metadata area can be exceedingly large that
may trigger out of memory error for allocating buffer based on it. Refine the
buffer allocation to use size of raw LVM metadata contents and read them from
within the metadata area as we only need to parse the JSON formatted contents
rather than the entire metadata area. This reduced the size significantly and
the likelihood to out of memory error.
