When deleting nested btrees, the code forgets to delete the innermost
btree. The thin-metadata code serendipitously compensates for this by
claiming there is one extra layer in the tree.
This patch corrects both problems.

This patch fixes a compilation failure on sparc32 by renaming struct node.
struct node is already defined in include/linux/node.h. On sparc32, it
happens to be included through other dependencies and persistent-data
doesn't compile because of conflicting declarations.

Stop using dm_bm_unlock_move when shadowing blocks in the transaction
manager as an optimisation and remove the function as it is then no
longer used.
Some code, such as the space maps, keeps using on-disk data structures
from the previous transaction. It can do this because blocks won't
be reallocated until the subsequent transaction. Using
dm_bm_unlock_move to copy blocks sounds like a win, but it forces a
synchronous read should the old block be accessed.

This patch introduces a separate struct for the block_manager.
It also uses IS_ERR to check the return value of dm_bufio_client_create
instead of testing incorrectly for NULL.
Prior to this patch a struct dm_block_manager was really an alias for
a struct dm_bufio_client. We want to add some functionality to the
block manager that will require extra fields, so this one to one
mapping is no longer valid.

Unlock the superblock even if initial dm_bufio_write_dirty_buffers fails.
Also, remove redundant flush calls. dm_bm_flush_and_unlock's calls to
dm_bufio_write_dirty_buffers already result in dm_bufio_issue_flush

This avoids warnings about unflushed dirty buffers from bufio.

Remove debug space map checker from dm persistent data.
The space map checker is a wrapper for other space maps that double
checks the reference counts are correct. It holds all these reference
counts in memory rather than on disk, so uses a lot of memory and is
thus restricted to small pools.
As yet, this checker hasn't found any issues, but has caused a few of
its own due to people turning it on by default with larger pools.

This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin
pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This,
read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the
live target.
Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status
line will give the block location for the current msnap.
Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the
thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows:
thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev>
Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools
Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things
that have traditionally been kernel side tasks:
i) Incremental backups.
By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have
changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure
the data doesn't change while we back it up.
A short proof of concept script can be found here:
https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb
ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another.
iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin.
iv) Asyncronous replication.

Save space by removing entries from the space map ref_count tree if
they're no longer needed.
Ref counts are stored in two places: a bitmap if the ref_count is
below 3, or a btree of uint32_t if 3 or above.
When a ref_count that was above 3 drops below we can remove it from
the tree and save some metadata space. This removal was commented out
before because I was unsure why this was causing under-populated btree
nodes. Earlier patches have fixed this issue.

When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's
two neighbours. This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases
entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left
neighbour, or vice versa. This patch pretty much re-writes the
balancing code to fix it.
This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin
device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool.
Once we have discard support, which removes mappings, this will be used
much more heavily.
