Nikos Tsironis 52c67d416b dm clone: add bucket_lock_irq/bucket_unlock_irq helpers
Introduce bucket_lock_irq() and bucket_unlock_irq() helpers and use them
in places where it is known that interrupts are enabled.

Mikulas Patocka 6ca43ed837 dm clone: replace spin_lock_irqsave with spin_lock_irq
If we are in a place where it is known that interrupts are enabled,
functions spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq should be used instead of
spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore.

spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq are faster because they don't need to
push and pop the flags register.

Nikos Tsironis 7431b7835f dm: add clone target
Add the dm-clone target, which allows cloning of arbitrary block
devices.

dm-clone produces a one-to-one copy of an existing, read-only source
device into a writable destination device: It presents a virtual block
device which makes all data appear immediately, and redirects reads and
writes accordingly.

The main use case of dm-clone is to clone a potentially remote,
high-latency, read-only, archival-type block device into a writable,
fast, primary-type device for fast, low-latency I/O. The cloned device
is visible/mountable immediately and the copy of the source device to
the destination device happens in the background, in parallel with user
I/O.

When the cloning completes, the dm-clone table can be removed altogether
and be replaced, e.g., by a linear table, mapping directly to the
destination device.

For further information and examples of how to use dm-clone, please read
Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-clone.rst
