Linus Torvalds 6597ac8a51 - DM core cleanups
- blk-mq request-based DM no longer uses any mempools now that partial
     completions are no longer handled as part of cloned requests
 
 - DM raid cleanups and support for MD raid0
 
 - DM cache core advances and a new stochastic-multi-queue (smq) cache
   replacement policy
   - smq is the new default dm-cache policy
 
 - DM thinp cleanups and much more efficient large discard support
 
 - DM statistics support for request-based DM and nanosecond resolution
   timestamps
 
 - Fixes to DM stripe, DM log-writes, DM raid1 and DM crypt
