If there are several snapshots sharing an origin and one is removed
while the origin is being written to, the snapshot's mempool may get
deleted while elements are still referenced.
Prior to dm-snapshot-use-per-device-mempools.patch the pending
exceptions may still have been referenced after the snapshot was
destroyed, but this was not a problem because the shared mempool
was still there.
This patch fixes the problem by tracking the number of mempool elements
in use.
The scenario:
- You have an origin and two snapshots 1 and 2.
- Someone writes to the origin.
- It creates two exceptions in the snapshots, snapshot 1 will be primary
exception, snapshot 2's pending_exception->primary_pe will point to the
exception in snapshot 1.
- The exceptions are being relocated, relocation of exception 1 finishes
(but it's pending_exception is still allocated, because it is referenced
by an exception from snapshot 2)
- The user lvremoves snapshot 1 --- it calls just suspend (does nothing)
and destructor. md->pending is zero (there is no I/O submitted to the
snapshot by md layer), so it won't help us.
- The destructor waits for kcopyd jobs to finish on snapshot 1 --- but
there are none.
- The destructor on snapshot 1 cleans up everything.
- The relocation of exception on snapshot 2 finishes, it drops reference
on primary_pe. This frees its primary_pe pointer. Primary_pe points to
pending exception created for snapshot 1. So it frees memory into
non-existing mempool.

Change snapshot per-module mempool to per-device mempool.
Per-module mempools could cause a deadlock if multiple
snapshot devices are stacked above each other.

Whenever a snapshot read gets mapped through to the origin, track it in
a per-snapshot hash table indexed by chunk number, using memory allocated
from a new per-snapshot mempool.
We need to track these reads to avoid race conditions which will be fixed
by patches that follow.

The chunk size of snapshots cannot be changed so it is redundant to require it
as a parameter when activating an existing snapshot. Allow a value of zero in
this case and ignore it. For a new snapshot, use a default value if zero is
specified.

Move snapshot metadata loading to happen when the table is created instead of
when the device is resumed. Writes to the origin device don't trigger
exceptions until each snapshot table becomes active when resume() is called on
each snapshot.
If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work properly you should update to
lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
