dm snapshot: merge consecutive chunks together
s->store->type->prepare_merge returns the number of chunks that can be
copied linearly working backwards from the returned chunk number.
For example, if it returns 3 chunks with old_chunk == 10 and new_chunk
== 20, then chunk 20 can be copied to 10, chunk 19 to 9 and 18 to 8.
Until now kcopyd only copied one chunk at a time. This patch now copies
the full set at once.
Consequently, snapshot_merge_process() needs to delay the merging of all
chunks if any have writes in progress, not just the first chunk in the
region that is to be merged.
snapshot-merge's performance is now comparable to the original
snapshot-origin target.
