Did you (partially) bisect that or are you just guessing?
The only one there possibly relevant is 7e507eb6432afdd798d4c6dccf949b8c43ef151c.

What distribution?  What version of udev package?
'lvm version' output?
Provide long listing of /dev/mapper and any dm/lvm devices in /dev.
Add -vvvv to your lvm command for better clues.

There's no new dm ioctl.
