toollib: Avoid a global lock in process_each_pv if lvmetad is used.

The motivation to grab the global lock is to avoid a scan and metadata parsing
for each PV, but the cost of obtaining metadata is _mostly_ mitigated by having
lvmetad around. Not taking the global lock improves throughput when multiple pvs
or related commands are running in parallel, like in RHEV.
