partitioner: no check when resizing LVM logical volume

Yast partitioner lets user resize LVM logical volume. However when doing so it
does not inform what exactly will be done (*), and what is way worse it does
not check if selected LV is mounted!!!

(*) not only it resizes LV but also underlying file system

So as the result, today my computer was frozen because of clash -- it appeared
I had running program using LV and partitioner resizing the same LV at the same
time.
I had to reboot computer, and then my problems begun -- because mounted didn't
detect valid file system, and e2fsck refused to correct anything because:

e2fsck: "unable to set superblock flags on" 

So basically I was stuck. Just by pure luck running vgscan and vgdisplay
somehow made e2fsck to run anyway, after that I repeated all the steps, this
time manually (from console, without using Yast at all).

However, the the result of this bug is a lot of wasted time, and loss of some
data (so far I didn't figure out which files were corrupted in the process).
