[PATCH 18/18] dm kcopyd: call copy offload with asynchronous callback

[Mikulas Patocka]

Change dm kcopyd so that it calls blkdev_issue_copy with an asynchronous
callback. There can be large number of pending kcopyd requests and holding
a process context for each of them may put too much load on the workqueue
subsystem.

This patch changes it so that blkdev_issue_copy returns after it submitted
the requests and copy_offload_callback is called when the copy operation
finishes.
