Remove DM's unneeded NULL tests before calling these destroy functions,
now that they check for NULL, thanks to these v4.3 commits:
3942d2991 ("mm/slab_common: allow NULL cache pointer in kmem_cache_destroy()")
4e3ca3e03 ("mm/mempool: allow NULL `pool' pointer in mempool_destroy()")

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@@ expression x; @@
-if (x != NULL)
  \(kmem_cache_destroy\|mempool_destroy\|dma_pool_destroy\)(x);
// </smpl>

This fixes up a compile warning [-Wunused-but-set-variable] - given the
comment in userspace_set_region_sync() the non-reporting of errors is
intentional so the return value can be dropped to make gcc happy.

Also, fix typo in comment.

Use a single slab cache to allocate a mempool for each dirty-log.
This _should_ eliminate DM's need for io_schedule_timeout() in
mempool_alloc(); so io_schedule() should be sufficient now.

Also, rename struct flush_entry to dm_dirty_log_flush_entry to allow
KMEM_CACHE() to create a meaningful global name for the slab cache.

Also, eliminate some holes in struct log_c by rearranging members.

To be future-proof and for better readability the time comparisons are modified
to use time_in_range() and time_after() instead of plain, error-prone math.

In the cluster evironment, cluster write has poor performance because
userspace_flush() has to contact a userspace program (cmirrord) for
clear/mark/flush requests.  But both mark and flush requests require
cmirrord to communicate the message to all the cluster nodes for each
flush call.  This behaviour is really slow.

To address this we now merge mark and flush requests together to reduce
the kernel-userspace-kernel time.  We allow a new directive,
"integrated_flush" that can be used to instruct the kernel log code to
combine flush and mark requests when directed by userspace.  If not
directed by userspace (due to an older version of the userspace code
perhaps), the kernel will function as it did previously - preserving
backwards compatibility.  Additionally, flush requests are performed
lazily when only clear requests exist.

Fix up trivial conflicts (other header files, and  removal of the ab3550 mfd driver) in
 - drivers/media/dvb/frontends/dibx000_common.c
 - drivers/media/video/{mt9m111.c,ov6650.c}
 - drivers/mfd/ab3550-core.c
 - include/linux/dmaengine.h

A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly
everywhere anymore.  Make sure the modular drivers in md dir
are actually calling out for <module.h> explicitly in advance.

Allow userspace dm log implementations to register their log device so it
is no longer missing from the list of device dependencies.

When device mapper targets use a device they normally call dm_get_device
which includes it in the device list returned to userspace applications
such as LVM through the DM_TABLE_DEPS ioctl.  Userspace log devices
don't use dm_get_device as userspace opens them so they are missing from
the list of dependencies.

This patch extends the DM_ULOG_CTR operation to allow userspace to
respond with the name of the log device (if appropriate) to be
registered via 'dm_get_device'.  DM_ULOG_REQUEST_VERSION is incremented.

This is backwards compatible.  If the kernel and userspace log server
have both been updated, the new information will be passed down to the
kernel and the device will be registered.  If the kernel is new, but
the log server is old, the log server will not pass down any device
information and the kernel will simply bypass the device registration
as before.  If the kernel is old but the log server is new, the log
server will see the old version number and not pass the device info.
