 A set of device-mapper changes for 3.14.
 
 A lot of attention was paid to improving the thin-provisioning target's
 handling of metadata operation failures and running out of space.  A new
 'error_if_no_space' feature was added to allow users to error IOs rather
 than queue them when either the data or metadata space is exhausted.
 
 Additional fixes/features include:
 - a few fixes to properly support thin metadata device resizing
 - a solution for reliably waiting for a DM device's embedded kobject to
   be released before destroying the device
 - old dm-snapshot is updated to use the dm-bufio interface to take
   advantage of readahead capabilities that improve snapshot activation
 - new dm-cache target tunables to control how quickly data is promoted
   to the cache (fast) device
 - improved write efficiency of cluster mirror target by combining
   userspace flush and mark requests
