If dm_btree_del()'s call to push_frame() fails, e.g. due to
btree_node_validator finding invalid metadata, the dm_btree_del() error
path must unlock all frames (which have active dm-bufio buffers) that
were pushed onto the del_stack.

Otherwise, dm_bufio_client_destroy() will BUG_ON() because dm-bufio
buffers have leaked, e.g.:
  device-mapper: bufio: leaked buffer 3, hold count 1, list 0

When applying block operations (BOPs) do not remove them from the
uncommitted BOP ring-buffer until after they've been applied -- in case
we recurse.

Also, perform BOP_INC operation, in dm_sm_metadata_create() and
sm_metadata_extend(), in terms of the uncommitted BOP ring-buffer rather
than using direct calls to sm_ll_inc().

dm_btree_remove_leaves() only unmaps a contiguous region so we need a
loop, in __remove_range(), to handle ranges that contain multiple
regions.

A new btree function, dm_btree_lookup_next(), is introduced which is
more efficiently able to skip over regions of the thin device which
aren't mapped.  __remove_range() uses dm_btree_lookup_next() for each
iteration of __remove_range()'s loop.

Also, improve description of dm_btree_remove_leaves().

Fixes: 6550f075 ("dm thin metadata: add dm_thin_remove_range()")

     unprivledged users (e.g. kvm guests) that issued ioctls when a
     multipath device had no available paths.

   - Include Christoph's refactoring of DM's ioctl handling and add
     support for passing through persistent reservations with DM
     multipath.

   - All other changes are very simple cleanups"

Commit 4c7e309340ff ("dm btree remove: fix bug in redistribute3") wasn't
a complete fix for redistribute3().

The redistribute3 function takes 3 btree nodes and shares out the entries
evenly between them.  If the three nodes in total contained
(MAX_ENTRIES * 3) - 1 entries between them then this was erroneously getting
rebalanced as (MAX_ENTRIES - 1) on the left and right, and (MAX_ENTRIES + 1) in
the center.

Fix this issue by being more careful about calculating the target number
of entries for the left and right nodes.

Unit tested in userspace using this program:
