  dm cache: fix a lock-inversion (2014-04-04 14:53:05 -0400)

Please pull, thanks.
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
. Fix dm-cache corruption caused by discard_block_size >
  cache_block_size

. Fix a lock-inversion detected by LOCKDEP in dm-cache

. Fix a dangling bio bug in the dm-thinp target's process_deferred_bios
  error path

. Fix corruption due to non-atomic transaction commit which allowed a
  metadata superblock to be written before all other metadata was
  successfully written -- this is common to all targets that use the
  persistent-data library's transaction manager (dm-thinp, dm-cache and
  dm-era).

. Various small cleanups in the DM core

. Add the dm-era target which is useful for keeping track of which
  blocks were written within a user defined period of time called an
  'era'.  Use cases include tracking changed blocks for backup software,
  and partially invalidating the contents of a cache to restore cache
  coherency after rolling back a vendor snapshot.

. Improve the on-disk layout of multithreaded writes to the dm-thin-pool
  by splitting the pool's deferred bio list to be a per-thin device list
  and then sorting that list using an rb_tree.  The subsequent read
  throughput of the data written via multiple threads improved by ~70%.

. Simplify the multipath target's handling of queuing IO by pushing
  requests back to the request queue rather than queueing the IO
  internally.
