[git pull] device mapper changes for 3.18

[Mike Snitzer]

Hi Linus,

I rebased the DM tree ontop of linux-block.git's 'for-3.18/core' at the
beginning of October because DM core now depends on the newly introduced
bioset_create_nobvec() interface.

The following changes since commit d8f429e1669b9709f5b669aac9d734dbe0640891:

  block: add bioset_create_nobvec() (2014-10-03 15:28:18 -0600)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/dm-3.18

  dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path (2014-10-05 20:03:38 -0400)

Please pull, thanks.
Mike

----------------------------------------------------------------
. fix DM's long-standing excessive use of memory by leveraging the new
  bioset_create_nobvec() interface when creating the DM's bioset

. fix a few bugs in dm-bufio and dm-log-userspace

. add DM core support for a DM multipath use-case that requires loading
  DM tables that contain devices that have failed (by allowing active
  and inactive DM tables to share dm_devs)

. add discard support to the DM raid target; like MD raid456 the user
  must opt-in to raid456 discard support be specifying the
  devices_handle_discard_safely=Y module param.
