Mikulas, thanks for you suggestions, I create new patch, can you please help
review?

Subject: dm: add map_rq define for error

commit a5664da "dm ioctl: make bio or request based device type immutable"
prevented "dmsetup wape_table" change the target type to "error" for there
is not map_rq for error target type.
