Extend the core device-mapper infrastructure to accept arbitrary ioctls on a
mapped device provided that it has exactly one target and it is capable of
supporting ioctls.

If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace
tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be
removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes).

This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open.

It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to
be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it.
 It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the
problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.

In alloc_dev(), we register the device with the block layer and then continue
to initialize the device.  But register_disk() makes the device available to
be opened before we have completed initialising it.

This patch moves the final bits of the initialization above the disk
registration.

The reference counting on dm-mod is zero if no mapped devices are open.  This
is incorrect, and can lead to an oops if the module is unloaded while mapped
devices exist.

This patch claims a reference to the module whenever a device is created, and
drops it again when the device is freed.

Devices must be removed before dm-mod is unloaded.

There is a chicken and egg problem between the block layer and dm in which the
gendisk associated with a mapping keeps a reference-less pointer to the
mapped_device.

This patch uses a new flag DMF_FREEING to indicate when the mapped_device is
no longer valid.  This is checked to prevent any attempt to open the device
from succeeding while the device is being destroyed.

One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has
finished initialising it or while it is being freed.

This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor
as allocated but in a state where it can't be used, such as mid-allocation or
mid-free.  At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with
the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm
subsystem.

This patch is an attempt to fix deadlocks discovered in the core dm.

The problems boil down to md->lock having to be held in too many places, so
I've split it into two: md->suspend_lock and md->io_lock.

suspend_lock is now held throughout dm_suspended() as well as dm_resume()
and dm_swap_table() so that these functions cannot run concurrently:
there's no requirement for that and it added complexity.

DMF_FS_LOCKED becomes redundant: DMF_SUSPENDED provides adequate
protection.
