When zpool create fails because a vdev is already in use, the
error message now identifies the problematic device and the pool
it belongs to, e.g.:
cannot create 'tank': device '/dev/sdb1' is part of
active pool 'rpool'
Implementation follows the ZPOOL_CONFIG_LOAD_INFO pattern used
by zpool import:
- Add spa_create_info to spa_t to capture error info during
vdev_label_init(), before vdev_close() resets vdev state
- When vdev_inuse() detects a conflict, read the on-disk
label to extract the pool name and store it with the
device path
- Return the info wrapped under ZPOOL_CONFIG_CREATE_INFO
through the ioctl zc_nvlist_dst to userspace
- In libzfs, zpool_create_info() unwraps the nvlist and
formats the device-specific error message
Restructure zpool_create() error handling so all switch cases
use break instead of return, eliminating duplicated cleanup
code and using the single create_failed exit path.
