scan-build problem

Hi

I've noticed that this scan-build error looks strange:

--
Access to field 'le_count' results in a dereference of a null pointer
(loaded from variable 'org')
--

It first goes with (lp->snapshot) taking false branch (line 3571)
and then taking a true branch (line 3849) - obviously it will combine
impossible result that 'org' could be uninitialized.

I've checked referenced usage of 'lp':

int vg_prearrange_replicator(struct volume_group *vg,
                 const struct lvcreate_params *lp)
seg_is_virtual(lp) is just access macro.

So there is no way the clang compiler might think the value could change
between those two tests for lp->snapshot.

Unless I missed something it looks like bug in analyser.
