The rw_semaphore is acquired for read only in two places, neither is
performance-critical.  So replace it with a mutex -- which is more
efficient.

Note:
 	1. process A and process B are two concurrent processes.
 	2. pool_target can be detected by process B but
 	_new_mapping_cache initialization has not ended.

To fix dm-thin-pool, and other targets (cache, multipath, and snapshot)
with the same problem, simply dm_register_target() after all resources
created during module init (as labelled with __init) are finished.

<title>block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index</title>

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

Instead use the special DM_MAPIO_KILL return value to return -EIO just
like we do for the request based path.  Note that dm-log-writes returned
-ENOMEM in a few places, which now becomes -EIO instead.  No consumer
treats -ENOMEM special so this shouldn't be an issue (and it should
use a mempool to start with to make guaranteed progress).

Arrange for dm to lookup the dax services available from member devices.
Update the dax-capable targets, linear and stripe, to route dax
operations to the underlying device. Changes the target-internal
-&gt;direct_access() method to more closely align with the dax_operations
-&gt;direct_access() calling convention.

<title>block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - initially based on Jens' 'for-4.8/core' (given all the flag churn)
   and later merged with 'for-4.8/core' to pickup the QUEUE_FLAG_DAX
   commits that DM depends on to provide its DAX support

 - clean up the bio-based vs request-based DM core code by moving the
   request-based DM core code out to dm-rq.[hc]

 - reinstate bio-based support in the DM multipath target (done with the
   idea that fast storage like NVMe over Fabrics could benefit) -- while
   preserving support for request_fn and blk-mq request-based DM mpath

 - SCSI and DM multipath persistent reservation fixes that were
   coordinated with Martin Petersen.

 - the DM raid target saw the most extensive change this cycle; it now
   provides reshape and takeover support (by layering ontop of the
   corresponding MD capabilities)

 - DAX support for DM core and the linear, stripe and error targets

 - a DM thin-provisioning block discard vs allocation race fix that
   addresses potential for corruption

 - a stable fix for DM verity-fec's block calculation during decode

 - a few cleanups and fixes to DM core and various targets
